allotment group 5

I went to the allotment group today to see if any of  my food was ready to be picked. I first  checked on my lettuces to see if  they were ready. I then checked the broad beans. I helped empty the compost bin before going with the group to have lunch.

Christmas wreaths

I put baubles on my Christmas wreaths this week: balls, hearts and little Christmas trees. They are now finished.  

wreath making

I started a project to make a wreath for the Bede Christmas fair. I used the wire to make a circle and tied a knot in place.

We used small bits of paper to put around the wire to make the wreath.

I wrapped real leaves from a fir tree around the frame, then I pulled it tight. My friend Joseph helped me finish it off.

Our Christmas Fair will be on Friday 5 December 11-2pm.

Today I planted broad beans. I also did some weeding in the clear bed to get it ready for new vegetables. 

We went to Lou Farrows for lunch. I had a cheese burger and a cup of tea. 

Potatoes

Today I dug up my new  potatoes but there were only a few. Then I washed them.

We also potted up some strawberry plants in some pots.

I had sausage and chips and a glass of water for lunch then we come back to Bede.

Labels

I changed the label on my onions at the beds in the allotment. the labels that were temporary labels - the paper would have got wet in the rain. The label has the same information, but this one will last longer.

Pumpkins

I harvested two big pumpkins today. I didn't  know they'd turn out to have green skin.
I'll be taking them home to cook tonight-or at the  weekend.
I had a kids' meal, chips, and a cup of tea for lunch.

bowling day out

Went bowling with Amos yesterday, but I played on my own for 1-2 hours-I enjoyed it anyway, its a good  opporunity to exercise and practise my skills. Afterwards, we went to a local garage where Amos washed his car-that I suppose was his exercise for the day...Between 3-4pm Muizz and Dulani  came round for a chat and cup of tea-it was nice to see them.
