Perfect weekend… and nothing done
The temperature rose. The sun shone. The bees buzzed.
It was the perfect first day of Spring to be at the allotment… and I wasn’t there. Completely blew it. Ran out of time.
So bugger-all achieved, and now I’m falling behind. Potatoes desperately need planting, as do the onions. Where the hell am I going to find the time?
Don’t worry soilman…I still haven’t got mine in either…I’m sure you’ll get them in and nature will make them grow just the same!!

I’m still at the same stage too. I’m trying not to worry….yet.

Yep, me too. It was a lovely day yesterday and I squandered it doing other things like having an afternoon nap. Still, it’s been pretty cold out there. It may be March, but it’s only just turned spring. I’m trying not to worry (only marginally successful…).

no spuds in yet myself, Saturday hopefully.

Hold your horses SM, spuds! Can’t we get rid of the snow first!
In fact it was a great sunny weather in Edinburgh too, and the snow is nearly all gone from the Pentlands. I did an hours weeding of the strawberry patch – at 7 o’clock Sunday morning (one of the offspring had an early bus to catch).

Spuds can wait until Good Friday. You call it bugger all done, I call it tradition. Either way, it works for me!

Well, I was all ready to put my onions in at the weekend when the old guys started leaning on their forks and tutting. Apparently you aren’t meant to put you onions in till the daffodils are out… complicated stuff!

I’m planning to drop mine on Sunday. I have four types of local (German) spuds and some purple French ones. In fact I seem to have bought 12.5 kg of seed potatoes which is far too many … I just got a bit carried away looking through the catalogues. I anticipate a stiff back on Monday.

Hooray! I’ve been reading your blog for about a year, give or take, and this is the first time I’ve actually been ahead of you. (and no doubt, the last)

Doubt it, Victoria; I’m hopelessly dilatory a lot of the time. I just don’t always confess to my latenesses….!
