Today was certainly a very packed gardening day, I started work on the allotment at 6.30am. My determination was in full swing as I had decided to finally get the last of my leek seedlings into the bed I had prepared some time ago. I had to give the soil a good hoeing before I started, as the soil was covered in very small baby weeds that seem to have sprung up from nowhere. I made a lot of four inch deep holes in rows all over the bed, then I placed a single leek seedling in the middle of each hole. I then filled up the holes with water from a watering-can, in the time-honoured fashion, this draws the soil gently around the plant and leaves room for the plant to swell.
In the afternoon I got to grips with our garden at home, I mowed the two lawns and trimmed a tree in the front garden, then I picked some blueberries and tomatoes.
I then spent the rest of the afternoon feeding all the plants in pots and watering the blueberry bushes, these are nearly all finished fruiting now and one or two of them are actually turning a rich autumnal red. Winter is coming!
