I was right about the identity of the recovered key was able to pop over to check on my allotment plot at the end of this morning. All was good although it was good to hoe down some of the weeds around my alliums and broad beans. I also got a decent harvest of kale, a wonderfully hardy and productive plant which should keep producing for months to come – one of those contributors which pays for itself and covers the bill of plenty of the less successful plants too.

As a bonus, after a rainy morning, the sun came out when I got there so I could even take my coat off and enjoy my time in the fresh air.
