Wednesday 18th May 2016 – Sowing French and Runner Beans.
Over the years I’ve sown my French and Runner Beans at various times. I’ve come to the conclusion that the best time to sow them is 2-3 weeks before you intend to plant them outside. That way they are about … Continue reading
Wednesday 18th May 2016 – Lots of pretty flowers!
The weather was very “hit and miss” today. Mostly it was “hit” by loads of rain, so there was no going down the allotment today, but I had loads to do in my greenhouse at home. So I went out … Continue reading

Monday 16th May 2016 – Come and see my Melons!!
No it’s not another “nudey rudey” video just incase you were wondering. A few years ago now, Chuck Fenster (lovely guy) sent me a load of Cantaloupe Melon seeds, and I’ve been sowing lots every year. They grow very well, although … Continue reading

Monday 16th May 2016 – It’s all starting to go in.
I love this time of year when you are finally able to start getting all those plants that you’ve lovingly sowed months ago, and then potted up carefully into 3 inch pots a while back, finally into the soil. This … Continue reading
Sunday 15th May 2016 – Cucumbers and Chickens!

No I’m not ill or being lazy if that’s what you wondering. And I did get dressed this morning. But I have spent most of the afternoon in the greenhouse potting up a mass of brassicas! I was messy, dirty, … Continue reading
Friday 13th May 2016 – I may be stroking it too much!!
This morning I was up my allotment again. This time I wanted to tackle a rather large bed. To my surprise, all the rain has made the soil very easy to dig, which is brilliant. The bed I was working my … Continue reading

After 2 days of constant rain, it’s wonderful to see the sun again. Apparently we had half a months worth of rain in the last 2 days. Now I don’t mine rain (I prefer the sun), but not all at … Continue reading
