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
Shropshire Seaweed Organic Growth Enhancer
The lovely people at The Shropshire Seaweed Company sent me a bottle of their 1 litre bottle of Growth Enhancer to try, to see what I thought, and give my opinion. As you know by now, I have many own … Continue reading
Tuesday 18th June 2013 – Yay, I’ve got all my tomatoes planted up!
Finally I think the greenhouse is ready for the summer (apart from a little tidy up of trays and pots) as I think I’ve finally got all my tomatoes in their final pots and ready to go. It’s taken a … Continue reading

Friday 14th June 2013 – Much better day than yesterday.
I feel very naked without my fence panel up, but I’ve asked the guys who are going to replace our fence if they are able to do it sooner than we first requested. I’ve not yet heard back from them … Continue reading
Monday 10th June 2013 – Afternoon filled with tomatoes and salad.
Once the kids were home from school and I’d sorted them out a snack, (they’re always starving when they come home from school. Emily has to cycle about a mile and a half to school, and George had been to … Continue reading
Sunday 9th June 2013 – An afternoon in the greenhouse.
