Nice bit of weeding and watering done this weekend whilst Emma played safely in her mini garden 😀

Finally finished baby Emma's garden and wonky Wendy house. She'll be safe to play whilst I work. Just needs painting now 🙂

Today I saw a caterpillar 🐛 emerge from chrysalis! So cool!! Will prob curse it when busy eating my crops but fascinating to watch 🙂

Hmm, it's been a while...! Post-pregnancy comeback and I'm finally getting back on top of the weeds 🌿🌱🌷🌻

[Allotment Plot @allotment85a]

Day 1 of #maternityleave just happens to coincide with #NationalGardeningWeek so spent hour weeding. Let's hope I can do same all week.

[Allotment Plot @allotment85a]

Grr, first theft and it's a biggy - our wheelbarrow has wandered. So annoyed. Perimeter of site locked so can only be another plot holder...

Lovely couple of hours weeding with a friend to help #productivegossipinsunshine Feel like I've made a start at least on 2016 #happydays

[Allotment Plot @allotment85a]

@jennybowring1 yes it is. I'm getting less mobile now but reckon I can do weeding OK :-)

[Allotment Plot @allotment85a]

@jennybowring1 ooo I want to try growing sweet pots, will watch your progress

[Allotment Plot @allotment85a]

@jennybowring1 thanks! No digging this year as have big baby bump but hoping to weed and seed before I pop in early May :-)

[Allotment Plot @allotment85a]

I'm back! Seeds arrived today and we've had 3 dry days so I think it is spring. Haven't been near plot with wellies since Nov #boggymess
