Goodness me, but the allotment was very soggy today – if we’d thought about it, we’d have taken our Wellingtons, but sadly we didn’t think about it, which meant a good towel dry for our feet and a change of socks when we got home. Plus a hot chocolate to warm us up again – always welcome!
Today there is one daffodil in flower and another one which should be in bloom next week, plus lots of shoots coming up.
The beetroot is still going strong and continues to give us winter veg for our dinners, hurrah:
Last week, as you can see, K nobly cut down all the autumn raspberry canes in preparation for this coming year’s crop. We can only hope they’ll give a better harvest this year …
Meanwhile, the moles are having a huge party and the hills are everywhere, LOL. It’s the gift that keeps on giving …
So, another minimal harvest this week of two beetroots and that lone daffodil. Still, not bad for mid January, that’s for sure.
And here is the daffodil at home:
Have a great weekend, everyone.

my plots covered in Deer hoof marks, They have eaten most of what was there. Going to try planting roses around the edge along with plastic flags and a scare crow

Oh no – poor you, Neo 😦 Deer love roses so that will only attract them – you’re best off with anything from the allium family (they hate the smell) or lavender – which they also dislike. There are also some reasonable anti-deer sprays, but you have to keep spraying, Good luck!
