Friday 10th January 2014 – Just went down for some Salsify.
Well things never go to plan do they? I was only going to pop down to the allotment this morning just to film about digging up Salsify (you’ll be able to see this film soon). So I left the car … Continue reading

Tuesday 1st October 2013 – Got nibbled on the neck today…and no it wasn’t Mark!
As the leaves of the French Beans are turning yellow, I decided that it was time for them to be pulled up and put in the compost heap. I removed any good sized beans, and then when they were all … Continue reading

Wednesday 18th September 2013 – I think I’ve got enought potatoes to last us a while, don’t you?
Having not been able to get down the allotment for a couple of days because the weather has been so crap, I was starting to pace. But today was dry and sunny, so off I went to see what else … Continue reading

Tuesday 10th September 2013 – Beans, beans, and yet more beans.
Well the runner beans have practically finished, so after I’d harvest what I could I pulled them out and put them in the compost heap. Runner beans are very high maintenance, not as easy as French Beans at all. They’re … Continue reading

Thursday 29th August 2013 – What a lovely haul, even if i do say so myself.
Well we got back from Spain yesterday evening at about 8.30pm, and it was dark, so not really suitable to go down to the allotment. So after a wonderful sleep, we had breakfast, and I got dressed and hurried down … Continue reading

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 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

Wednesday 24th April 2013 – Sunglasses aren’t just for protecting your eyes against the sun.
This morning I was a busy bee up the allotment. Firstly I finished digging the bed where the carrots were going in. I’ve sown “Rainbow F1 Hybrid” and “Cosmic Colour Collection”. Then I had a little space left, so I … Continue reading
