Woyww

Happy What's on your workdesk Wednesday. Not had any time for crafting or making this week as its allotment busy time getting more stuff planted and picking and preserving a lot of very early fruit. So, last night my 'desk' was the plot. Mid evening it chucked it down so off I stomped on slug watch (whilst taking the food waste over to the compost bin.
I went around with my gloves on and chucking them all in a pot. Now, I can remember some research a few years ago where they painted the snail shells to help track them and some travel well over a mile back from where they had been moved to, but, I wasn't going that far so I wandered up to the park and deposited them next to the bin! yes they may come back, but I tried!
the plot isn't too tidy (never is to be honest), but it's productive and I enjoy spending time there so that's good enough for me. Dehydrated strawberries, strawberry vinegar made, some rhubarb jam made and strawberries, black currants and raspberries all frozen so far this season, so happy with that. kyla

  1. Happy I'm-hosting-knitting WOYWW!
    Slug watch! LOL! When we moved in here, and the old owners moved the massive piece of furniture in the dining room, the entire back wall was COVERED in silvery snail trails. Took a while to plug the holes. We do occasionally find one in Poppy's rood bowl. Ugh. Bet they enjoyed the little holiday to the bin - mush be like going to Spain for us humans... :P

  2. Your plot is looking good and productive! I’m not growing much this year, just potatoes, runners, chard, radish and salad stuff, enough to pick a little every day. I just enjoy the pottering tbh!
