Tuesday 30th August 2016 – And you’re saying they’re wrong because?
Another great couple of hours up the allotment today. I managed to dig up all the remaining Potatoes I planted this year. I’ve got some rogue ones growing in other patches so as I clear those beds then I’ll find … Continue reading

Friday 12th August 2016 – Loads more harvesting.
I just love this time of year when all that hard work is paying off. You go down the allotment with an empty box and come back with it completely full to the brim. This is what mischief I got … Continue reading
Friday 22nd July 2016 – Back where I belong!
My Jury Duty has finally finished. They’ll have to find some other people to sort out the criminals. I can’t be called for another 2 years at least. I may never be called again! It was a very interesting thing … Continue reading

Friday 8th July 2016 – Harvest, weed, water, repeat!
Another very busy 4 hours on my allotment today. I’m now systematically working my way through each bed. I harvest, weed, then water, then move onto the next bed and do exactly the same. If I find any spare space, … Continue reading

Wednesday 1st June 2016 – A rather rainy adventure!
For me the 1st June is the start of planting all the tender crops outside, because the end of May is our last frost date. Today the weather was anything but Summery. I certainly hope this isn’t the weather we’re … 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
Monday 9th May 2016 – Allotment update and some bonus Beetroot.
Today was another glorious day. Although thankfully not quite as hot as yesterday. Still very humid though, but at least we had a little breeze blowing which was wonderful. I spent just under 3 hours on my allotment this morning, … Continue reading
Monday 21st March 2016 – A very special day for all sorts of reasons.
What a wonderful day it’s been today. The sun is shining, the day is very warm, I had a new t shirt on (anyone guess what it refers to?), I was up the allotment, and it was my birthday. I’m 21 … Continue reading
Thursday 15th October 2015 – Whoo they’re some large spuds you have there!!
A fabulous day spent on the allotment today, although I did have to pop home for a bit to get another large plastic box. If you’re sitting comfortably then I’ll begin. I started with something gentle, which is always a … Continue reading
