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

Wednesday 17th July 2013 – Harvesting in full flow.

Tuesday 4th June 2013 – Kids are back to school, so I’m straight down the allotment.
Having not been to the allotment for just over a week, because of half term, the sight that greeted me was quite a shock. The grass had grown so much, and half of one plot was looking a bit of … Continue reading

Wednesday 24th April 2013 – Lots of potting up.
Well I was busy this afternoon in the greenhouse. Lots of seedlings needed to be potted up, so armed with 3 inch pots, compost and a watering can I ploughed through. I did make a couple of films in the … Continue reading
