Purchased a comfrey plant from Candlesby Herbs at our local farmers market yesterday. A useful plant both on and off the allotment. Had another attempt at taking cuttings from my rosemary, third time lucky!

Wow, goosegogs!

My gooseberry bush has fruit on it!
Twas only a twig last November!

This is the riverside approach to the allotments I really want to be on!

Emergency?

Discovered today that discharging a weapon in an urban court mainly occupied by elderly people is not a 999 offence!
So you're put in a police station telephone queue for a quarter hour!
Almost an hour after the event a constable arrived. The lady whose windows were fired at is an infirm seventy-three year old!

The outcome may be interesting!

Bank Holiday Monday

Still wanting an allotment!

Raining on and off all day! Managed to tidy patio garden, and dug out a few dandelions.
My small potted rosemary appears to have died, found a spot for it next to the hedge, so it can take its chances.

Patio Toms!

The patio tomatoes went out today. They were grown from last years seeds, these were from the very first tomato I have grown and eaten!
The variety is Shirley. Seedling French marigolds can also just visible at the front of the bag; hopefully they'll help to keep the pests away.

May need a guard dog for some pests!

A cuppa!

Got invited behind the security fence and had a cuppa with the guys at the riverside allotments today!

Altogether a good Beltane!
