Squashy Decisions

Been down to the plot today, needed watering etc. I noticed the Butternut Squash, which we inherited from Stuart and which you may have seen in pots in the greenhouse in previous pictures, had outgrown their pots really and were trailing along the floor. Mairead, a nice Irish lady who keeps a more than professional allotment, advised me to plant them out in manure rich ground. I spent my time today wheelbarrowing manure, of the ten tonnes or so of which there was not a lot left, and piled it into the bed subsequently raked over some soil and hey presto we had a bed ready.
It didn't take long so the rest of the time I spent gawking at her pristine plot, drinking tea and listening to her day by day account of her recent visit to China... which actually took longer than everything else I had to do today. Anyway before I skedaddled when the heavens opened, I snapped up a PlotCam.
