Herb Pots


Mini Lottington


Whilst Im away from Lottington proper, i'll be doing my tiny part still. So there is a use for GU glass pots after all. Having been given a bag of them to bring home I have bought a few packs of herb seeds and i'll be growing them here. Its not quite Lottington Stanley, but im going to try and make it a mini Lotty on the Hill.




Watering


So after a busy morning I arrived at Lottington yesterday afternoon only to have to leave half way through the obligatory walkaround. We were supposed to be getting growbags from B&Q but by the time we'd looked around a few caravans and eaten KFC there wasnt really any time for Lotty shopping. We did finally get a proper look at veggie heaven, even if it was another flying visit. All but pumpkin two are thriving outside. Im hoping that John will stroke and talk to the spare tomato the way that I have been as she seems to like it and I know she's doing her best to get better.




Spores


I had a quick look at the mushrooms and the spores are growing. Iv left specific instructions for them to be lightly watered every few days, moist not wet. I love mushrooms and cant wait to see if they work in a barrel, only 20-25 days left to wait and see.




A Lesson Learnt


The last week for me has been very productive at Lotty. I have learnt alot, experimented, been proud, worked hard and enjoyed everything iv done. Its has given me reason to get up and do something, and just because I cant be there doesnt mean that im going to stop and do nothing. Its over to John now to keep Lottington Stanley well blogged, and me well informed. But i'll be back soon, and i'll be all the better for it.
