A wet time was had by all this morning in Ed and Laura's allotment. It was just drizzling when we arrived, but the weather gradually worsened until it was pretty much pouring down when we left 3 hours later. The challenge was to weed the beds and cover them with black weed suppressant fabric. We managed two beds. Sadly someone had pinched all the cabbages apart from a couple of weedy little ones. Very sad. They've had rather a lot of stuff stolen: Courgettes and cherries, then the mice ate the peas. So crap when folks put in all the work and get the seedling etc and others just have no respect for other people's property.
I was very glad of my waterproof and wells. I did however get pretty dirty, far worse than either Ed or Laura, not quite are how!
This afternoon we went to Barton Grange, a very big Garden Centre come farm shop near Lancaster. I bought two Denby pasta dishes for £4 each, bargain and another special thing which I can't speak about, but I have been looking for for a long time.
