yrieithyddI need an allotment icon!
A slow Saturday where I procrastinated quite a bit (though I got the sheets washed) before getting out at 2ish and going via lidl to buy lunch things.
Bird feeder was empty again so I filled it up. Then dug the rest of the strip I'd started the previous time and began to deweed the first bit - it is definitely easier to take the weeds out when they've been overturned for a bit. Dug through a few unexpected potatoes and this time decided to stick them in the ground (in the deweeded bit) to see what happens.
Sunday - got up and went to the cathedral. I wasn't duty verger but we'd been invited to a thank you lunch after the service so when the teenager I'd hoped would do tech this week wasn't available due to hockey (school hockey - he's also had school revision sessions on a Sunday which I think is really unfair), I decided the simplest thing was to turn up and do the tech. Also meant I could do the cunning last minute thing of realising that whilst using the St Nick's Candlemas window (which sadly doesn't have Anna in it) had worked before the service and during it, at the end, having turned to the cross, it made much more sense to use the Cathedral east window. Then had we had lunch and then I got home around 2 and I went up to the allotment and did an hour or so's digging. I did wonder about doing the Big Garden Bird watch but although I did see birds landed on my plot, recording a pigeon, a magpie and a cloud of LBJs wasn't very helpful. When I arrived I disturbed several small birds off the feeder but I was not close enough to identify or count them. They didn't come back while I was digging, but when I sat down at the other end (cheekily at neighbour's picnic table) they did come back but again, I couldn't identify. But good to know it is birds not squirrels who are eating the food.
I started an adjacent strip. I have been in two minds about whether to leave a grassy strip between narrowish beds for access, but the patch I'm digging wasn't particularly grassy and I thought it might just disintegrate under me if I tried leaving it so I've done a wider bed there at least. Will try and get something to make a path.
Tonight I got to walk home at 5pm with it not quite being dark, so if I leave promptly at 4 tomorrow I might get a little done (refill the feeder at least!). I also planted another 12 cells of onions at home.
