Beans, Potatoes and Sunburn

So back to lotty this afternoon, and no sun bathing this time (not that we needed to.)

There are lots of veggies ready to go out which meant digging up a new patch. It was my very first patch that iv dug myself and I am very pleased with myself even if Johns patch did look neater. Once the digging was done it was time to decide what to plant.

Beans

After taking a look in the greenhouses (lots in them but most still needed to grow a bit more) we decided the runner beans would be big enough. Whilst I sat and cut small bits of green plastic John made a trellis for the beans to grow up. The planting was a bit messy as the soil was much more crumbly than I was expecting, but we got there in the end.

Faffing)

Obviously we stopped for breaks during the digging, weeding, raking and planting and took a look at what had already been growing outside.

Nicola became irritated during these breaks, but it was important that we kept hydrated. During these "rest intervals" we would look at other things and talk, random "allotment chatter". Subjects included could you make ant skin pants (mmmm, soft and silky) and what would the process be?

Anyone with experience of making underwear from insect pelts should let us know ASAP.

Other topics included "How crap are you Nicola at removing bricks" and "What kind of pants are you wearing". Not ant pants and thats for sure.

Mmmmmmmm Yum!!!!!!!

Mmmmmmmmmmmmm, the potatoes and beetroot collected during all the faffing was amazing. Dont know what else to say about it, other than I dont want choccy biccys cos I can still taste Lotty food.
Along with the potatoes and beetroot (which id never eaten unpickled before and it smelt like sweetcorn and tasted sweeter than id expected) we had stilton, bread and a few secret ingredients with the potatoes. After all the hard work put in this afternoon we deserved every last bit on our plates.

Sunburn

Now that we're all showered and clean we've taken a good look at our tans. I do have a better one if I do say so myself, but then I do have more opertunity to be out during the day. I think I may need a bit of moisturiser (I'll smell like John then, yum again.)

TTFN

Well thats it for today, were gonna sit, smoke and watch Family Guy for a bit. I expect there'll be lots more to do tomorrow.
