first courgettes planted in allotment

Planted three courgette plants in the allotment today (in the 1st bricked bed next to the old shed).

Strange to see the soil looking dark and moist after yesterday’s rain. That’s possibly the first real rain (more than a ten minute shower; and we’ve hardly had any of those) we’ve had for eight weeks.

Excitingly, I also witnessed a rat fight this morning: a big, healthy-looking pair of grey rats in the run between the neighbours allotment and the bramble patch.

Potatoes coming along well — almost as well as the weeds.
