Well, it all worked out well today. All my hard work.

Little one and I went to the allotment and got our first punnet full of strawberries - Fantastic!:D

I've been digging and digging lately, and made a few last minute alterations to the plan, and I've got SO many things to plant - tomatoes (plum, normal and cherry), aubergine, broccolli, sweet peppers, chilli peppers, sweetcorn, melon, courgettes, pumpkin (I planted butternut squash seeds straight in), cabbages (red and white), purple sprouting broccolli, onions (froms seed) leeks plus herbs - coriander parsley and basil. Thats just the stuff I started off in the shed first - oh and cucumber that have now grown so huge in the shed, and are growing what look like massive cucumbers, so they can stay there.

My husband doesn't know it yet, but I need all day Saturday so he'll have to entertain the kids.. (they can do boy things like go to the golf range, kick a ball in the park, watch sport on TV and fight over the remote..):zz:

He'll get the hang of it - I'll look after them for the whole of half term next week.

I'll let you know if the strawbs were tasty.;D
