Silly Seasons

Having not been up the allotment for 3 weeks due to a holiday, I was expecting a wilderness of weeds. Thankfully, the recent cold weather seems to have halted their development.

This weekend I harvested the last of the tomatoes (3), some leeks and PURPLE SPROUTING!!!!

Strange but true. Don't think I have ever picked purple spouting this early in the season.

I spent about 3 hours tidying and digging and managed to totally tire myself out. I kept thinking "I'll go home now" and then I would think "I'll just take down the runner bean canes" or other such jobs. It wasn't until I started the walk home that I realised how tired I was. In fact if the OH had been home, I would have called him to drive up and pick me up.
