The Allotment.

It had to happen sooner or later...access to an allotment! This one didn't come through being on a waiting list though, I am looking after it with a friend for a sick lady. She is unable to work on it this year, but she doesn't want to lose her allotment, so we can do what we like! 

Installation of raised beds is the first job...

No-one told Liam that you don't have to wear a flat cap on the allotment! We spent all of Friday evening out there, drilling planks and moving soil. Have to organise some veggie plants now, as it's getting a little late to plant some things.

By the end of the evening we were lucky enough to enjoy a braai (vegetarians look away!). The boerewors was quite splendid, and was a good way to end a long week. 

Hopefully by the end of the summer we'll be able to enjoy a gem squash or two with our braai - I have seedlings coming up now. They are from seeds I brought back from Zimababwe, and will be grown down on the allotment.
