The plot in February
Finally dragged myself down to the plot. Fearing the worst the damage was bearable. One of my three compost bins must have flown off and found a new home. Easy come easy go. You may recall the composting course I wrote about back in the autumn. The local council, in their effort to make everybody recycle, offered a free bin to everybody attending this course. I got mine through attending the course and then blagged myself another one because it was spare and a bit wonky. Well, it is the wonky one that has flown the nest. I clearly didn’t need it because if I did it would have been filled with wilted cabbage leaves and the like to keep it in place. Other than losing a bin the plot was not bad. I picked some flat leaved parsley and noticed that the cabbages I planted last year could probably be grown on to yield this summer. And the sprouting broccoli has set little heads and will be pickable in a few weeks. The blueberry bushes also looked promising. Hardly any trimming seems to be needed and lots of buds set on their red stalks. So all in all a reasonably trauma free visit.
