Rain...then sunshine, YAY!

I was sooo fed up with the rain, after getting soaked wet through walking Basil AGAIN I decided that a visit to Plot 5 wasn't looking likely.

So I went off to the very posh garden centre to look at things I can't have.

I bought a bargain Lavender and had my free coffee, yes, I said FREE!
If you buy a membership card for £10 a year you have an extra 10% off everything, even in the sales and free drinks plus half price food in the cafe, good eh?

I found a book which the title interested me....

...and this one I though IS me!

Then I got a little distracted....

....so I paid for my plant and headed back to the car to find it had stopped throwing it down with rain and the sun had come out. So I hot footed it down to the plot and decided to prune the raspberries!

Now I hope you're impressed by that, I know I am!

Reading every book the library has on growing your own fruit and veg, twice over and trawling the internet every evening I feel is beginning to pay off.

The soil is looking a bit too drab in my opinion and needed brightening up, plus the muddy paths are driving me mad, so I have layed some carpet.

Do you like the colour?  Lovely I thought...

Flipped over it looked a little less wild, but there we are, we have a much safer pathway now, for the time being until the woodchip makes it's way to the plot.

So that's it, another little visit and more work completed.

'Hello Julie', that's our neighbour waving. We're both new to this game.

If I wish VERY hard do you think the scaffolding planks will make their way to the plot very soon?  With the wood chippings?

...and the manure?

Shed?

I'm greedy, I know. Be patient girl.

Thanks for reading.
