Sun is still shining here

We made the most of the good weather last weekend and spent Saturday at the Malvern Spring show  We've visited the Autumn show a few times, the Spring one I thought was a bit smaller but very similar in the way of plants.  I came home with some herbs and Joanne bought some ferns and hostas for a shady part of her garden and we shared the cost of some wood to  make a brassica case for the allotment.

New herbs, spearmint, strawberry mint, thyme and a cola plant, (yes it does smell like cola).

I also got a mind your own business plant, It's  creeper so I'm on the look out for a pot with a face so that It will look like hair when it grows.

Our allotment space has doubled.  I knew the plot next to us had been given up and then Joanne announced that she had requested it!   It's still mostly coved in weed control, although Joanne has managed to clear a good section already.  The rest will be cleared a bit at a time. 

The other plot is looking good with everything doing well at the moment, we have even had our first radishes 😋

Last Sunday was our Quarry Bank Stitching day, always a lovely get together and I even won one of the raffle prizes this time 😉  

I stitched on Mary Margaret again, no photos this time, I'll share again when I closer to a finish.

 I'm on a countdown to a week away and so looking forward to a change of scenery, but before that comes the preparation.  I cleaned and tidied my greenhouse yesterday, my son in law is going to come and water my plants and seedlings for me so I wanted to leave everything grouped together so that It will be easier for him.  My tomato plants are mostly in the conservatory, there are a lot, and hopefully they will be ok for a week, I think it's still probably too early to plant out at the allotment just yet.

I'm looking forward to some rest and relaxation, lots of knitting and stitching time and hopefully the good weather will continue and I can get a fair bit of walking in too.

Take care
