It had been raining most of the week so I was expecting it to be quite sticky but oh how sticky it was.
Christmas Tree: My first job was to replant the Christmas tree so I dug out the hole from whence it came and tipped the tree in with its compost. I then attempted as best I could to heal in some more mud around the tree. Unfortunately all that happened was that every time I pressed down with my welly the mud just stuck to the welly. I have replanted it as best I can but will have to keep an eye on it in case it blows over in the wind. Once the soil has dried out I will try and firm it in a bit better.
Kale: Well the kale is no more. The pigeons have now eaten the lot and when I checked to see what netting I had anyway it was the wrong kind. Oh well I will know for next year.
While I was up there I tried to dig a bit more of the plot but again it was just way too sticky to do anything. I did find some carrots from last year and a couple of parsnips so I dug those up for Sunday lunch. I also had a check in my greenhouse and picked some more rocket along with some lambs lettuce and baby pak choi. I sowed some more lettuce in one of the pots.
