Springtime Weeding and Digging
Posted in Allotment Diary
A good old digging and weeding session this morning… the rain held off for us and there was a slight glimmer of sunshine for about two seconds!
Siobhan cleared the weeds around the raspberry canes, which we can see new growth on (can’t wait for some fresh raspberry cocktails this summer!), while Lisa rather haphazardly dug out some of the main plot which the grass is working it’s way into 
Stopped for a brief cuppa too, from a very girly flask, but got spotted and ribbed by another allotmenteer!
Also coming through is one of the rhubarb plants, there’s some growth on the rose bush and the onions that overwintered may just be ok after all 
like your flask! i need to know:
a) are you sure it’s just got tea in it; and
b) do you have matching wellies?
lol… just tea this time
Lisa has purple wellies and Siobhan has navy blue wellies, sadly they don’t really match the flask!
Loving the flask! Where did you get it?
Everything seems to be so slow this year. I have to admit I have not been to my allotment constructively yet this year. That will all change this weekend as hopefully the forecasters have got the weather right and we have a stunning weekend ahead of us.
Looks like you’ll be soon eating Rhubarb! Bring on the Spring…

The flask was a gift to Siobhan, it’s one from the V&A collection – Amazon have some similar ones listed, but not this particular design.
Bring on the Rhubarb!
