Tau<p>his year, a couple of years after planting some cutting, got five grapes! five! small sweet and delicious.</p><p>To avoid the council's nosing - they come about once in a while to check that the plots are cultivated, or else is eviction, the grapevine will do the job perfectly; in a few years lol!</p><p>Today and yesterday have been busy repairing a few leaks in the greenhouse, refitting the external greenhouse, digging here and there, moving a lot of junk to be recycled, having a break and a cigarette; saw a dragonfly today, size some 3in at a guess as it didn't stop; the usual sparrowsects (as in sus-pects) feeding, found one of the feeders on the ground and empty. Also installed a section of metal net in a hole in the hedge right below the feeder, where feral cats waited for unweary birds to land. Few months ago, found a heap of pigeon feathers; since then a single pigeon shows up and hangs on a while, probably the partner.</p><p>Weather has been fine with some rain, hardly any wind and warm enough. More tomorrow.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alllotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>alllotment</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/grapevine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>grapevine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/birds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>birds</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/greenhouse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>greenhouse</span></a> # <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>environment</span></a></p>
🌱 The View from Plot 20<p>More chippings arrived, we added to the paths giving a temporary change of colour scheme! <br>There was cardboard underneath, but it’s gone, what we do is first scrape up the old partially rotted wood chip &amp; enriched soil from the paths &amp; recycle it onto the beds (tip from Huw Richards' on YouTube, use your paths as an additional composting area!).<br><a href="https://mastodonapp.uk/tags/Alllotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Alllotment</span></a></p>
