25th Saturday Carried out the plot inspections this morning a task which took up almost two hours with further reports to compose later. Raspberry canes that had been on order by two of the association members finally arrived - the order has been submitted in November 2024! Had a meeting with the allotment barbeque committee after the inspections to discuss the 3 social gatherings planned on site this year.
26th Sunday Most of today was spent at home. Fitted roof bars and a roof box to my car as the box had been in the garage since the end of 2023. A spot of pottering around in the garden occured but still lots to do to finally get it all tidy and in order. Positioned the last of the five chimney pots in place by the stone wall and commenced partially filling them with homemade compost. Split the hosta that had been growing in a plastic pot and replanted them into the two round chimneys. There are still plenty of the London Plane leaves on the ground which I am gradually tidying up and putting into the compost bins. Did a spot of weeding in the back garden and sown the sunflower seeds for the competition.
Visited the allotment briefly in the evening to water the bean plants, sadly it seems the recent heatwave has taken it's toll on the plants. I had forgotten to water them yesterday when I went to do the inspections. Did a brief spot of weeding between the rows of onions and harvested some mizuna and ruby streaks leaves. Back home and I repotted the houseplants in the porch, a task I had procrastinated for far too long.
