Today I have a list as long as my arm and I'm going to attempt to photograph as I go; after all who wants to read about me and my life when it is far more interesting to see.
Glorious morning so far and I have achieved a huge amount already this morning. I have come to the conclusion that guerilla style cleaning is the way to go - managed to do the house top to bottom in an hour and feel spectacularly smug about it too. Job done! I am pondering on what we have left in the garden that should really be coming out and it is mainly the leeks, spinach and kale. The leeks will come out today and get eaten alongside a roast chicken courtesy of The Black Farmer...hope it is worth the £7 I paid for it. I had spinach today for breakfast with an egg and fish but the stuff still keeps growing albeit the plants are desparate to bolt, I just keep stopping them. The kale is approximately four feet tall now and really ready to go but there are still leaves and they are still delicious. The sprouting stalks are being subjected to an onslaught of white fly so they really should go but I can't bring myself to do it.....
About Me
- Robin the Bobin
- I'm a keen gardener which is probably in my genes as all my siblings enjoy it to some extent, my father was a keen fruit and veg grower, and my mother loves her garden which seems to be a constantly evolving project. Myself and my darling husband have transformed our city garden which itself is delightful with a cottage garden feel to part of it, a rockery made up of reclaimed concrete path and an ever evolving shady patch! We have been growing veg in the garden for the past three years but as ever it is not big enough so this is where the allotment comes in. I have just taken tenancy of a half plot and it is as naked as an allotment plot can be i.e. mud. over the next few years we hope we can use the allotment to grow bigger vegetables which require space as well as some fuit which also wouldn't squeeze satisfactorily into our strip of a garden. Other than gardening I particularly enjoy cooking hopefully with more and more of our own produce.
