Laziness, weather and football on the telly have combined to make this summer something of a disaster down at Camellotment, but in the back garden things are progressing nicely.
During Febuary and March we were stealing every piece of wood that wasn’t nailed down with the intention of building a polytunnel-cum-greenhouse down on the plot. We became expert skip scavengers and could, at 100 paces, determine whether or not the stuff folk were throwing away was going to be of use. Unfortunately, of course, we didn’t get around to building anything and are now lumbered with around 80 tomato, cucumber and pepper plants and nowhere to house them.
We are in the process of finding them good homes before Rambo and Sarah Connor, our pet rabbits, can eat them down to their stalks. If you’re local to South Birmingham and want one (a plant, not a rabbit) then get in touch.
Next year there will be a greenhouse at Camellotment…oh yes.
