The Beechgrove Potting Shed allotment rebranded and spiders invade
You know how companies are always changing the names of their products? Well we've also been doing a bit of rebranding - we've given the Beechgrove Potting Shed allotment a new name.
You may remember that I previously blogged about the problems we had finding a site to grow our veg, as the plot we'd originally chosen did not get enough light. Well, we've since started growing our carrots in a pot at the front of our building and more veg will follow. Our potatoes are growing in tyres on our original plot and we're drawing up plans for that area as well.
So the Beechgrove Potting Shed allotment is now the Beechgrove Potting Shed patio garden (and plot). Harder to say, but more accurate.
And we have signs of life! The beans, courgettes, salad and flowers on our window ledge have all started growing.
In a separate development, I think someone's been playing a little joke on us. When watering the potatoes, I found one of those plastic spider rings sitting on our compost. In the picture, it's enjoying life on my flower tray.
It could have got there quite accidentally - as I explained in a previous blog, the compost was handmade by one of our panellists. Someone could've dropped it at any stage.
However, if someone placed it there on purpose, then they should note that we're a hardy bunch on the Beechgrove Potting Shed and are not scared by spiders. We're also smart enough to spot a plastic one when we see it!
