Outdoor spaces

Had a good day yesterday, and got tulips and daffodils planted. A few alliums and hyacinths as well in the bed, going to see what else is available in the next few months. I'm happy with though, should be a good amount of colour in there.

Decided that I want to get an asparagus planter in the spring, they take a few years to get established but then produce spears for years.

Had a good time at the allotment today, didn't get a huge amount done, but I was able to just sit and realise how much I have done over the year since I got it.
It's crazy to think it has only been a year, and I've broken my wrist in that time too!

I've got a plan now for next year, and I've planted my strawberry runners, I'm aiming for 12 strawberry plants, so I have 2 current plants, and planted 6 runners currently. In spring I'll get more in different varieties so the season is longer, and more bountiful. I also want to get another 2 blueberry plants, so I get a bigger crop if those as well. I might also get more raspberry canes. That's my main focus next year, getting the summer fruits sorted. The only other real plan is so start an asparagus bed,they take a couple of years to establish so I want a raised bed, dedicated to that.

Got to bring in the coloured pots from the fences, clean them up and store them for next spring.

Unfortunately, summer is coming to an end, which means more storms and rainy days. Outdoor things like flower pots are slowly being moved indoors.

Hoping to spend the day at the allotment today, get lots of weeding and tidying up done.
