It has been a plot day to remember.
It was Julia's first visit and we made some significant leaps of progress. Not only did we "earth up" the potatoes to prevent them from exposure to sunlight, we bedded in the cabbages and squashes (by surrounding them with warming protective bark chips) and make real progress with clearing the back section of the allotment that had run wild and rugged.
But the all out success of today was the generation of an ornamental wonderland for the gnomes and their friends. We created a small pond by the fence to attract wildlife and provide a natural habitat for the plastic people. Twee it is not.
Hmmmm. Now Mum and Dad expect me to do the same in Totana. I'm not sure I really thought this through.... Perhaps I can just threaten them with a myriad of gnomes.
