What a fantastic two days we have seen in Yorkshire. I watched stage 1 of le tour on TV, but was lucky to have them pass right by our street on Sunday. The crowds were shoulder to shoulder all the way in to huddersfield, then just like that they evaporated after the peleton went past.
Of course, all this le Tour de France put a continental feel to my trip to the allotment.
What else could I do, but sort out le Onions.
I have been dreading this bit, its about the biggest area we have, and the weeds had taken control.
Inspired by the efforts of the cyclists, I set to, and 3 hours later, the onions were once again looking like someone loved them. This made it a rewarding trip to the plot, However;
I have discoved a new and scurrilous pest.
The lesser spotted plot thief!
Our netting covering the Strawberries was last seen on Friday evening, by Sunday, it was gone! Along with the vast majority of the Strawberries. What remained had become fair game for the birds.
I guess that that is it for this years crop, so I would like to extend a big thank you to the toe-rag who took the net, for reducing the amount of effort required for harvesting. You are a person Totally Without Any Thought, and I will leave you to arrange these initials.
