Phew isn't it hot?? We're having another busy week. Twiglet had an environmental day on Monday. Yesterday the whole school (all 72 of them :) went for a 2 mile walk around the various pretty public footpaths in the village. Followed by a Teddy Bears Picnic and they ended the day with a Mini Olympics. (School wasn't this exciting in my day) They have a local artist going in on Friday to help them make Mod Roc sculptures, so we've been saving LOTS of packaging.I thought he'd be exhausted by the time he got home last night but he still insisted we go swimming so he was a bit of a tired teddy this morning.
His girlyfriend is coming round for tea tonight so I hope he manages to last until bedtime!!!
On the way home from the swimming pool last night we called into our lottie to do a spot of watering and I thought I'd take a few snaps. Now don't get too excited, it doesn't look great as we have a LOT of work to do and due to me working most weekends recently we haven't had time.
However, I've got the next two weekends off work so we're hoping to get stuck in.
It's our 14th wedding anniversary next week and my Mums 75th birthday so lots going on !!
Anyhoo here's the pics.
Starting with Twiglets pumpkins, there are 12 in all.
Twiglets parsnips, we have a very long row of these !!!
A long shot of the plot, we are trying to smother the weeds - they seem to grow twice as fast as the veg!
Mr Twigs spuds - so to speak :)
Onions.

Onions.We also have butternut squash, leeks, cabbages, broccoli and a few fruit bushes.
Of course we've also done a bit of baking, wouldn't be a post without cake would it? Check out our lurid buns - I think we excelled ourselves!
Oooooooo and a bit of pizza.
So there we have it, a post all about food !!Have a great weekend.
love

Your posts always remind me of happy memories spent with our children. Those buns could have been some we made :-) Thanks for sharing them.

Your lottie is looking great - as do your buns!
ReplyDeleteGreat music! I popped over here from Forest Poppy blog and kept your playlist on in the background while I wrote my latest post! Live version of Sunday Bloody Sunday is one of my favourite songs ever!
ReplyDeleteLast day of school for us on Friday! Woohooo!!!! Can't wait. :)
ReplyDeleteThe allotment is coming on great hon, it takes a lot of time and effort to get rid of the weeds. I know I took nigh on 17 bags of weeds down to the skip last week and that's not even half my garden done. Plus the weeds only flaming grow again! :(
Parsnips are one of my favorite vegetables,they are so versatile.I use them for parsnip soup,steamed and buttered and roasted with the Sunday joint,so I am glad you planted a long row of them,you obviously like them as well.!!
ReplyDeleteThe cakes look like the ones I make with my Grand daughter,nothing like home baking with a child.
And of course all that food makes it my kind of post! Allotments are such hard work to begin with, but you'll get there soon by the sound of it. x
ReplyDeleteah, how lovely to be able to grow some food. It tastes extra good at harvest time!
