If you've been following me on twitter, you might have read that I have been running out of pots to cover my rhubarb with. I have used 4 plantpots, each one increasing in size and gradually they all became too small.
Someone then kindly recommended I place a dustbin over it - so I have. Before I did so, I took a new photo:
I think some of it looks about ready now, so I'm going to be using some this week for certain. I last put a picture of the rhubarb on here about two weeks ago, so it is amazing how quick it grows, as it was only just coming out of the ground before.
I also spent some time this week getting new compost out of the compost bin. Here it is tumbling out at the bottom:
And here's my dog Mischief having a good old sniff of it:
The only thing that didn't seem to have composted properly was mango - don't know why?
Anyway, I've got lots of work to be getting on with this week, I expect the compost won't last me long!
wow that's amazing! That rhubarb looks almost ready for a crumble! :)
ReplyDeletefarawayme - it does doesn't it! I'm definitely going to cut some off this week!
ReplyDeleteLooking good! Mischief is adorable :)
ReplyDeleteOoooh! Fab rhubarb! Just about ready for a crumble if you ask me :-) Love 'n' hugs, Mel xx
ReplyDeleteGarden Hoard - thank you. I do think he's rather handsome! He's still a baby really - 18 months old. He's very well behaved, although sometimes a little bit too much for our cat Liquorice (who's also black). Mischief wants to play, but Liquorice doesn't!
ReplyDeletemelsanford - Thanks Mel. The amazing thing is, sicne I put the dustbin over it it's about doubled in size again!
ReplyDeleteThat came on really well, well done!
ReplyDeleteGood to see everything growing so well... my heart gave a little lurch when I saw your fur baby labrador, my lab Harry is very poorly at the moment;-). Mischief sums up a labradors personality well, good choice
