A sunny day! And of course I'm working for most of it...

Well after a busy day at the Cafe I collected a few things together and went down to the patch to try and do a little bit more.

Jasmine stands guard by the messy greenhouse.

We have 8 beds kind of in place, the site slopes from the centre so we have found it hard to find a level.

The top end of the Allotment has been covered in a hope that some of the weeds die off, whilst we were covering the top part of the site we found that something had made itself a little home and quite a network of burrows and tunnels connecting each one.

Unfortunately they move a little to fast to catch in a photo but it seems that we have a small family of mice setting up camp. Not so much of a problem now I suppose but come growing season I'm sure I will want them moving on.

I need to have a read up on the good and bad wildlife that I should be encouraging and defending against.

I took the gear down to give the Greenhouse a scrub as recommended by Monty (Gardeners World), I removed quite a bit of moss and Bird gifts! But only managed to get around half of it done before the light really started to fail.

 The worst part is that after around an hour or so of scrubbing and annoying quite a few Spiders it didn't look that much better than when I started!

I decided to call it a day, bit tired and grumpy and questioning whether all this will be worth it in the end, had a sit down before I left and remembered, that even if I don't get that much out of the plot over the next 12 months I will still get to spend time relaxing and pottering around with no one bothering me, no stress and just the sound of the birds to accompany me!

Not a bad view to finish the day with...
