New territory

Both I and the wren were having fun exploring the new allotment today.  She has been inside the shed searching for grubs.  I surprised her and felt her whirring above my head as she made for the door. 

There is a huge amount of stuff for burning. It would make a spectacular fire for bonfire night.

I've had my eye on the huge lush comfrey plants in this allotment for some time.  Today I felt I could legitimately harvest some of it.  I want to give my butternut squash all the help they can get poor things.  I didn't water them as well as I should have done earlier on in the season, and they're quite small. 

I treated them to some liquid comfrey too.  I was surprised to see a colony of miniature mushrooms growing on the surface of the liquid in the bin.
