Jack Frost has come to play! |
On a positive not however last weekend was the annual dinner for the allotments which I attended for the first time. My Hubby came to though he isn't a gardener. It was a nice evening with good food at the local pub and to make the night extra great not only did I win on the raffle ( I picked shortbread because I love it so much!) but I also won third prize in the best kept allotment competition. This is two up from last year and came with a £15 cash prize which I have already spent on some seed ready for next year. After all next year is going to be THE year for the gardener....well we can all have dreams can't we!!
Well I think that's all for now...plenty to tell you yet but I have to catch up with all my other blogs and also have to go and collect a shipment of manure this morning too...the joys of gardening, lol!

Glad you're back on form (almost). Still far too wet here for digging - would need a forklift rather than a garden fork!
ReplyDeleteIt is now very wet here...and then it freezes. I think I may have to accept defeat and leave that little bit of digging until the spring now. Still plenty of other things to do and I can shave off those nasty looking weeds!!
DeleteGlad to hear you are feeling better. I know what you mean about those damp days. They just make you feel extra chilled.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on third place for your allotment. Next year I bet you'll do even better
Thanks Ann....I don't like being ill so I am now a much happier bunny!!
DeleteDamp is the worst sort of cold!
I was quite proud of my third place, at times the plot was very overgrown this year so I think I must have been lucky with the judges visits!!
Congratulations on moving up in the competition! Your hard work is being noticed.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be nice if we could share our weather? If we took half your wet days and you half our dry ones we could both have perfect gardening weather.
Thanks tpals.
DeleteSharing weather would be great...or living in a bubble where you could totally control the climate...I still wonder why they haven't surrounded my village with a huge climate controlled dome....happy fantasies!!
Glad to hear you're feeling better. I've been full of cold too, in fact, just getting over it. Congratulations on third place, that's quite an achievement, though I'm not really surprised as your allotment always looks immaculate.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo...hope your cold has gone now too.
DeleteI don't know about my plot always looking tidy...I'm just a bit selective where I point the camera..lol
Congrats! Nice wintry pics too. Can be such a photogenic time of year.
ReplyDeleteThanks Lee.
DeleteI think I will have to get my camera out a bit more this year...I do like the scenic wintery pics....the frost can show us some amazing sites that we would normally miss!!
