At last, after a few weeks rain, the soil has become workable, so we (Di on this occassion) dug a section. Before you imagine I was supervising, I was pulling up the bank of nettles that had grown…Although I had gloves (90% effective) a T shirt was probably not the best protective gear for the job and my arms were tingling for the rest of the day.

I had some strawberry polants in a big pot at home and it had started firing off babies on runners – so, each baby was given a pot to grow in, and I had 19 baby strawberry plants to stick in the allotment – a job done and hopefully a good crop next year.

There was a consequence to this – I look like I’ve got miniature crop circles in my lawn – where the pots have sat in the grass all summer – the central pot, with lots (well, 19) little circles.
