Day 26 - We only went to plant a rose, just look at what we did.

That is the beauty it seems of going to the allotment, you go with one job in mind, and end up doing something completely different. This morning our lass finally received through the post her bare root shrub rose bush. So the plan, was to to plant the rose bush and some bulbs. We forgot the bulbs, we did take some compost, so our lass started on the hole for the rose bush and I as usual got distracted by something else (onions-see next blog post)

Whilst doing the rose bush, which needed a soak before planting our lass moved onto having a go at the muddle puddle we have had. Next thing you know, we are laying a path. So jobs done, rose planted, new-new path laid, onions covered. Happy day all round.

They do say when digging a hole for a rose bush to make sure it is free of obstructions, this was the boulder found at the bottom of the hole.

Compost ready for the bulbs we forgot, and much to our lasses amusement I swept the fake grass.

The new new path

New path a differing angle

Onions covered, to stop the birds getting confused
