Flying solo

Tonight was my first lone visit to the plot. I find people are a lot more sociable when I am on my own, they appear to be much more inclined to come over and I received a lot of visitors. I was very excited to see that the radishes are nearly ready for harvesting. I decided not to pick any, as it was the first thing Si and I planted so I think our first harvest from seed should be a joint affair. In our excitement, we may have planted them a bit too close together so it would seem some didn't develop, but there are definitely a good few which are peeping out. So far, we have managed to harvest some lettuces, although we didn't grow those particular ones from seed, so the radishes will be very exciting indeed. 

On a slightly unrelated note, on a quick trip to the gym this evening I entered a competition. If Christiano Ronaldo or Paul Scholes scored first in the football final, I won. Thanks to the moody Portuguese one, we are now the proud owners of a Jamie Oliver barbecue and flavour shaker. The flavour shaker is actually a lot better than I expected, I had expected it to be a gimmick. We will have to wait for the weather to improve to test the bbq, but are seriously considering an allotment party.
