[growth] a wild allotment appears

[kaberett]

A very kindly chased me out to the allotment today, where I got very close to finishing constructing my second raised bed. I ended up slightly giving up in exhaustion, but... well, while the rightmost of the two still needs its leg-holes sorting out, the right-hand one does now actually have four identifiable, connected sides, and is all in roughly the right place. Level and filled... is a work in progress.

Bonus of the day: some of the garlic I'd grumpily assumed just hadn't worked at all... is sprouting! to my astonishment! It's behind the ends of the fennels in the third bed from the left, completely invisible for all the weeding I need to do. And the rightmost bed contains shallots! Too pixellated to be identifiable, of course, but: shallots!

I am really really hoping that More Time At The Plot can happen now I'm done with lab. I do enjoy rummaging around in the dirt.

That looks so inviting! I want to get my hands in your soil.

Happy birthday to the GROUND (is an earworm I already had in my head)

It's looking good.

Yay garlic! The raised beds look good. I hope they yield lots of fine produce.

I love how plants can surprise you!

Yay raised bed! Something I've always wanted, and never had the opportunity to do due to renting and landlords that object to you digging up the lawn for some reason. I hope the plot brings you great joy and quantities of produce in 2020!

Looks great!

My mint is still alive, I got a bay tree for Christmas and also some veg seeds, and I am planning on planting basil indoors soon.
