Orto di Casa Cecconi

My first allotment, and then one thing leading to another…

A weak week

Despite the lovely weather I did not manage to drag myself to the allotment, my stamina has failed me horribly this week!

Now I am a bit concerned, as nature won’t wait for anyone, as is well known:

  • asparagus that I should be picking is going to seed
  • nematodes might well die in the fridge, and they are not cheap
  • the dead rats are rotting (why did they leave them there for me to bury in the first place?!?)
  • I have not planted anything in May, which will mean a ‘hungry gap’ in the middle of the season… In particular no salad at all
  • weeds will have regrown all over the place and grass will need serious mowing
  • it’s a windy place over at the allotment and my pallets may have fallen onto something…

I’ve just managed to persuade myself that I must go there at least a couple of hours this weekend, no matter what!
