Allotment 3/5/10


A continuous update on how my seeds are doing would (has) become a little dull so I will stop that, probably. I will try to bring you plant related stuff though as well as allotment updates and news.
 Today, being a Bank Holiday, there were only a couple of things that we could legally do so this morning we did some DIY and then we got stuck in a traffic jam and got rained on. Ah a blissful May Day bank holiday.
 The reason for the Traffic Jam sitting was so that we could get to Wimborne to see, via the National Gardens Scheme, Deans Court Gardens. This a very pleasant looking house, not open today, and 13 ache garden.


Now, whilst all this foresty stuff and semi-wildness is lovely there was a better reason to go there. They have a lovely kitchen garden surrounded by an 18th Century serpentine wall. To say that I am jealous of all that space is an understatement.


The weather improved and sun came out as we wondered around this truly beautiful place. Bee hives, 8 or 9 compost bins and carrots growing in those huge basket things that you can see (it to avoid carrot fly I believe). A top afternoon out all round.
