Last day of November....

Toad is still in residence

It was a lovely sunny morning so I went to weed and dig today

I managed to do this large patch

But not this one as I ripped my nail of my finger half way down and it's very painful.

Courgettes in November

I went to the lotty today and to my surprise, not only did I find 3 large courgettes to harvest, but new growth on the plants!

Crochet & Cabbages

I was on Allotment Trading Hut duties today.  It was a very quiet time, so I took my Crochet along to help pass the time (see my other blog www.macscrochet.blogspot.com) which it did indeed do - help to pass that time that is, as well as listening to the old boys chattering away about their war days!

On the way back home I have to walk past my plot.  I had to pick up a savoy cabbage and I only had my Crochet bag with me, so they had to share

Crochet & Cabbages!

Digging after the rain & the return of the FROG

All that rain we had in the last few days has done me a favour!  The sun came out today and I went out to the Allotment to dig!!  It was like putting a hot knife through butter & I had the added bonus of a little harvest of baby sweetcorn and some beetroot!

To add to my delight of digging over a large bit of my plot I found my friend the frog!  He was hiding in a compost bag.  Now this was unknown to me at the time and I tipped the little amount of compost left in the bag onto the plot and out came this frog who was covered in compost dust - he did look a sight, so I got my watering can and gave him a shower.  He then rewarded my by posing for some photos....

School Pots and Hanging Baskets.....

Did I ever mention that I garden for a local school?  Today I transformed the pots & hanging baskets from the "Summer"   (these pictures were taken back in June, so the Bacopa, Lobelia & Geraniums were all in bud form).....

.....to the "Winter" 

In the pots I used Cyclamen, Winter Pansies & Gold Crest

And the hanging baskets speak for themselves!!

FAB!
