Lottie news

Theres always plenty to do on the plots, one of the jobs is to thin seedlings, allowing those left in the ground to grow larger. Today it was the turn of the carrots, these pencil sized thinnings  are soooooo tasty !...... great for salads.


Another new planter at the end of the path, filled with French marigolds.


 We are really pleased with the Pear tree that Pru got us from Freecycle, it has set quite a few fruits.

Our trusty wire hen keeps guard on the roof of our compost bins


Tom Thumb lettuces, they are quick maturing , very crisp and tasty

Potatoes growing in old 25ltr containers

An old galv water tank makes a great dipping tank for filling watering cans .
 Our latest addition to the plot, a distressed old seat, perfectly usable, but looks really good in its coat of lichens and mosses
