This week has been dominated by taking water up to the allotment. I can't wait until we have a shed up there we can collect water off. It hasn't been that warm this week, but nor has it rained so all the fruit bushes need watered daily. It has allowed us to take up bags of mulch ready to put down after the next heavy rain.
This week we have also switched off our heating - three weeks earlier than last year despite similar maximum and minimum temperatures. We are using the woodburning stove, but we were last year. I am wondering if this is due to the extra insulation I put in the loft at the start of the year.
This week the kids are off for Easter so we have been off walking in the local woods and having friends over to play. Lots of cooking, I found some blackcurrants in the freezer so used them in muffins - brilliant. I have been using artichokes and leeks from the garden this weekand planting potatoes, kale and salad.
