It was such a lovely sunny morning that I couldn't resist going down to the allotment. I finished digging over the ground between the fruit bushes, and hopefully removed the last of the bindweed. Fat chance!
The dahlias
Peter came down to join me for coffee and had a go at starting a fire, but everything was too wet.
I dug up some weird and wonderful parsnips - can't understand why some are long and straight, and some look like a heart with blood vessels coming out in all directions!
Down by the old bath tub - which is incidentally full to the brim - there are some unusual looking fungi growing. Peter thinks they may be ink-caps.
I had people for dinner this weekend and made a lovely red onion and beetroot marmalade. The beet was home-grown but I had to buy the red onions. Found the recipe on the internet and it was delicious. Served it with some home-made pate.
