Super Sunday


We went to the Dulwich potato fair Sunday morning. We arrived soon after it opened and it was quite busy. I managed to buy some Sarpo Mira and Axona as we were badly visited by blight last year so thought that we would give them a try and see if they are as good at resisting it as is claimed.

Barbara bought a dwarf iris for the flower bed on the plot and planted it next to the peony which we inherited and last year separated into two as it was so large.

We paid our rent for the coming year and were asked if we would man the trading shed for about five Sunday mornings. We both enjoy this as it gives us a chance to chat to other allotmanteers that we may not otherwise get to meet.

We have been trying to decide what to grow in each bed but every time we make a decision when we reach the plot we change our minds.

It seems that birds love peanut butter as it was the first thing to disappear from the tree we made.
