Allotment time..

Hello all,how are you today?
Its been busy here again but rewarding..this is a picture heavy post..we went to the allotments to primarily water the Pumpkins..but ended up weeding and tidying up..
So here are lots of pics of our afternoon..

Allotment 1..all the potatoes and the pumpkins

Look at the rhubarb patch..

Allotment 2..new potatoes in the forefront..

Watering the pumpkins on allotment 1

As we were leaving we spotted flowers on the early potatoes..

So that was our afternoon..it was lovely to get up there and get our hands dirty..some great views from the back of the allotments..but my camera made it look blurry..but we are surrounded on all sides by trees and in the distance i spotted a wind turbine..didn't even know one was on the edge of the valley.
We got home to have a tea of sausages and bacon with mash and gravy and green beans..yummy.
I got all my laundry dry even though i was questioning wether it was wise to leave it out as it kept going a bit grey.
I went upstairs to run a bath for the girls and was confronted by a very large and angry wasp..i gave it a quick back hander and he fell to the floor..i covered him with a cup and shouted hubby..i didn't want no wasp coming after me lol..he was thrown out the window to rejoin his mates.
The girls totally enjoyed it and want to go back so thats a bonus..Iris is so into her growing and loves to have a go..Fern is ok once she gets there but is not as keen..yet when we got home she was asking when could she go again.
So that was my day and a good one it was as well.
What have you all been doing today?
