disconnected?

april has arrived and there's an accusatory hole where all my intended march posts should be. ach well - sic vivitur.

we have an allotment. it was alloted to us at the beginning of march, we were up there and wielding a spade in anger for the first time on monday. the ground will bring forth potatoes, spinach and strawberries.

seedlings for the garden (or slighlty-slug-free-er allotment) are: camomile, sunflowers, night stock, sweetcorn, poppies, and chives. the sweetcorn and sunflowers are doing extremely well in the weak april sun.

at the risk of lowering the tone of this blog, i have found human urine to be an extremely efficient accelerant for our compost heap. rest assured i first found a discreet method of collecting and delivering said accelerant to the compost bin before conducting any further research.
