Friday 5th July 2013 – If we had no weeds, gardening would be much easier.
Whoever invented weeds should be given a good, stern talking to. They’re a pain in the bottom, and like all gardeners we dislike them very much. If anyone knows a way to get rid of them forever, please let me … Continue reading

Thursday 4th July 2013 – Finally all my cabbages are in, yippee!!
Well I started by weeding one rather large bed, which took me all morning. I was getting a little peckish, but decided that when I’d finished weeding and watering that bed, then it was time for lunch. I’m so stern … Continue reading

Tuesday 2nd July 2013 – Busy, busy little lady I am!
I should have written this yesterday, but just didn’t have time, so sorry about that. But I spent nearly 5 hours on the allotment today. I did take some lunch with me, so I wouldn’t go hungry. I need food … Continue reading

Thursday 27th June 2013 – All the beans are in, and I had a pleasant surprise.
A HUGE amount was done today, and before I knew where I was, I’d been on my plot for just over 2 hours, it was just after noon, and time to go home for lunch. I got all my “Purple … Continue reading
Wednesday 26th June 2013 – Weed…and not the illegal type.
Had a jolly, spiffing time on the allotment this morning. I don’t quite know why I’m being all posh, but there you got. It must have been something I ate! Anyway, I managed to weed loads today. I finished the … Continue reading

Tuesday 25th June 2013 – Tomatoes and Cabbage, not something you’d put together.
Another splendid morning on the allotment, as I’ve finally got all my “Moneymaker” Tomatoes in. I’m not sure if they’re from Thompson and Morgan or Mr Fothergill’s, but they all seem to be growing really well. Hopefully blight won’t affect … Continue reading
Close to 1,000,000 views!!
Never in a million (please excuse the phrasing) years would I have ever expected my little old Claire’s Allotment You Tube Channel to be at this amazing mile stone. In August 2007 Mark mentioned about me doing gardening videos for … Continue reading
Monday 24th June 2013 – First strawberries, summer must be here.
Well I got very excited this morning when I looked at my strawberry beds, as I had quite a few that were ready for picking. I think we’ve got enough for us all to have enough for pudding this evening, … Continue reading
