How we spent our Christmas Day at the allotment

 

Simple, but enough of what our lass says about me, we had a good time looking at the wild birds and drinking champagne, we also glimpsed a woodpecker and much to our surprise the improvised Christmas tree is still standing.

Christmas continues down the allotment, with added snow.

We went to the allotment yesterday, to add the final touches to our improvised Christmas tree, whilst at the allotment we found another leak in the shed, which our lass tried to resolve but instead ended up cutting her finger, which meant for an improvised covering which was applied to the cut, to stop the bleeding. But at least we had our first snow at the allotment to enjoy, even though only for a short while as it was uncomfortably freezing.

Well it did the job

With the final touches, baubles and a star.

Christmas down the allotment.

Our lass is full of great ideas, and said we could make a Christmas tree from some off cuts of wood, so we did. We also saw the first signs of re emergence from the rhubarb, and the tomato experiment had another casualty. To complete the festivities our lass brought down some snowflakes she had made. The idea was thanks to ikea I think, but our lass made them better.

Just needs some baubles and a topper,

The first signs of new life from our rhubarb

We are down to 5 seedlings and the frosts haven't really hit yet, the one bottom right is my best bet I think but we will see.
