Well 2007 didn't quite finish as I expected. A very nasty dose of Chicken Pox laid me flat and prevent the winter digging getting done as planned over the Christmas break. I felt ill when I got home from work on Friday 21st December and took to my bed with what I though was flu. On Christmas Eve morning I awoke covered in spots. The Dr diagnosed Chicken Pox. I can't remember ever being so ill. The planned Christmas dinner with home grown veg didn't really happen. I have been signed off work until 11th January.
The first time I ventured out was 30th December when my other half and I took a slow walk to the allotment. He dug up some leeks and I picked brussels. I spent the rest of the afternoon recovering in bed. It is going to be a long haul.
Anyway - one New Year's Resolution. I am going to make a big effort to label my plants. I start out with good intentions, but I never have enough labels and lose the bit of paper which shows the allotment planting plan. I have managed to label two items - one was a lovely sunflower called Pastiche and the best Brussel plant was one called Oliver - which I originally sowed on 17th March. There seems little point in having a success if I am unable to identify it.
So I have purchased a packet of 100 plant labels so that every plant can be tagged.
