Let me make that really clear. It wasn't a simple thing, and I really enjoy only the outcome of it ;) Well, it's not that I didn't have fun these last three days, and I did enjoy the time spent in the garden, but lets promise myself to keep up the pruning work and never let it grow wild again. (Yep, I heard that before, I know!) Clear side - moved the chairs with the poles behind the shed.

My apricot tree has ripped open over winter. Not sure why, probably due to a late frost after (too) warm weather. It has no chance of survival - it would only attract pests..... sooo, bye bye... zwarte bes achter Honeyberry already blooming - first Honeyberry the second - already blooming berry?  Black or red - have to look that up! Berry indeed - same story Last

Saturday, 19 march 2016 Clearing the jungle ;) Easy sorting - break of the dead stuff, weave the living... Hard to take a picture of the trees...  Hmm.... I didn't even get this far LOL Black current was running wild.... all new plants - all eradicated. Half a black currant. Original plants are excavated - on tomorrow with cutting them back.

One hour only, I'm still not really recovered from the Influenza yet. So I feel the few hours of outdoor movements yesterday ;-) Repaired the fence and cleared the outside other side - outside is clean Bed 2 - Peas  I didn't have enough poles but luckilythere was already a pile of  refuse outside the complex.One mans trash is another mans treasure - so I've foundreplacement

2016 - new start. First day in the allotment. Let's try this blogging thing again ;-) Appearantly importing pictures has become much easier in the time I was gone - good!  I like to document all steps taken in a day in the allotment, primarily to prove to the controllers, that I did my time to keep the allotment clean. Bono on his way to the allotment - he's not allowed to walk on

Spin 365/034 07-02-2014, a photo by breiduiveltje on Flickr.I am decidedly not a fan of the colour/white combination, but I believe this is the softest yarn I've ever spun.Woolen longdraw, softly plied.Then again, Linden IS sooo soft as well!

2014-02-01 23.44.49, a photo by breiduiveltje on Flickr.I have spun on day 26 en 27 as well, short intervalls in the evening.Here the result of day 28. Going strong, but I'm thinking about changing the challenge to Fibre 365 instead. Sometimes I really would like to just knit in the evenings.....Am I the only one?
