The best de-stresser as far as I’m concerned. Go dig in the dirt.
My allotment has been a bit crowded of late, due to a really successful winter crop, so it’s been a while since I’ve had the opportunity to get ‘the big fork’ out. (In truth, the size of my tiny allotment I could probably achieve the same with a nail file – but I like to swagger through the allotments with the big fork.)
So, yesterday I removed the last of my tomato plants which left me with a nice bit of ground. What to do with it?
I was given a handful of cabbage and lettuce seedlings a few weeks ago that were struggling as they were crowded in. And I had a couple of pots of flowers that I bought from Oaklands Street Community Garden the other day. So I put them in together which should give me something for my dinner plate in a few weeks, a bunch of flowers to cheer up the place, and keep the bees happy at the same time. Win, Win as they say.

The first of the plants goes in. Narf from Serendipity Farm has given me of the name of these daisies. Osteospermum daisies.
And to keep to the theme of the day here is a pic of my favourite cushion.
Go dig in the dirt folks. You know you want to.
Happy Gardening.
