Daddy's Birthday Weekend !

We have had another lot of lovely weather and we have spent quite bit of time down at the allotment, working around Daddy's birthday, BBQ's, Grandad & Nanna visiting, splashing in the paddling pool and generally having fun in the garden at home.

We have put a net around the redcurrant bush as the redcurrants are just starting to turn pink, so we want to keep the birds away ! The early potatoes are just starting to form flowers which is nice to see. Daddy & Henry did a huge pile of weeding and general tidying of the plot, and Mummy sowed some more seeds :

1 tray of Clapton F1 Cauliflower
1 tray of Kestrel F1 Beetroot
2 Pumpkin plants (Spellbound) - for Henry's Halloween Pumpkin !
2 Squash plants (Sweet Dumpling).

After sowing all that we did a massive water of everything as everything looked in desperate need ! Then we put some slug pellets down to try and stop the slugs ans snails munching on our veg !
