Black Gold, now and then

Blip desperandum. I peered into our compost bin the other day when dumping a load of veggie peelings and though “that’s blip for a desperate day”. It’s good stuff. I’ve been using it mixed with peat free compost to grow tomatoes, cucumbers and chillies.

And so it turned out today was that day. A fourth day of overbearing dullness, a brief glimpse of the sun at lunch time then light rain followed by a heavier bust this afternoon.

I spend some of the morning on a call to a colleague I’ve been working with in the prison service these 8 years. Then I had a meeting with our allotment chairman to chew the fat over the ongoing carnage over Project A and to plot our next moves. I really appreciate your support over our position.

Despite the rain I managed to give the grass as topping and trim and tidy up the edges. All that remains to be done is the same to my hair.
