This week I've been up the Allotment again for a few hours, and brought home a few more lettuce for consumption. It is so delightful to be eating the produce already.

On the way up there I stopped by the usually dry river bed  which was flooded and rushing across the road in torrents.

I spent some time putting up the canes for the tomatoes and the cucumbers and did a bit of weeding- with the warm weather and raining everything is growing really well, and that includes the weeds. 

Bernard and Pepi went off and cut the canes down the dry riverbed a few days back

 and I put them up: 

Whilst Pepi was there the other day doing a bit of weeding she found a mouse's nest

Whilst up there I met a couple of the 'ladies' that have the plot next to ours and enjoyed a good old chin wag with them. Ursula and Gloria planted some Iris bulbs under one of the trees which should bring forth some beautiful blue flowers later in the summer.
