Drought issues – Have we any plantable ground?
We’ve had two dry months now, and the lack of rain is now having an impact on the allotment. We are trying to hold back on planting out on the plot, but that can’t go on for much longer. I decided to remove some weed control fabric and see if the ground was suitable for sowing a crop of early peas.

A hike to Bluebell Woods with Ruby
I’m sure this is one of the largest displays of bluebells in the UK. We hike with Ruby to the bluebells on display in Temple Newsam woods.
