Last week my husband had a public holiday, the children had had the previous week. We therefore used it to start putting in the base for the shed at the allotment. We got alot done by lunch time. I was then called away to a sick child, this slowed the afternoon's activities down. However, a decent start has been made.
I continue to harvest greenery for the rabbits, nettles for us, and salad. I have finally got in the onions I potted months ago and should have been in the ground months ago. I have also transplanted my dill, I believe it doesn't like being transplanted so we shall see, 5 plants outside, three in the greenhouse and two for my mum. I have also potted on two of my canteloupe melon plants, which are flowering. Some of the tomatoes are also flowering. The aubergines and hot peppers are ready to transplant/pot up into greenhouse beds and larger pots for the conservatory.
Finally this week I have got the PV production figures for March/April and May on the PV production page. We also got our feed in tarriff payment so that was nice.
I looked at our CO2 production figures this week, so far this year we have used 3.9 tonnes CO2 for the house and cars among us. Roughly 1 tonne is house, 2.5 tonnes cars. Of this 0.5 tonne is my husband's work mileage in a car that does 50+ miles to the gallon. This leaves 2 tonnes of "recreation" mileage. I therefore need to look at alternative ways of travel. Some is difficult to tackle - kids to after school activities - others like shopping are prime targets. Watch this space.
