Monday 22nd July 2013 – Awaiting the storms!
I was woken up this morning at 6am by some distant rumbles of thunder. It only lasted about half an hour, and then was gone. We had no rain, but apparently it’s due later. Today is supposed to be the … Continue reading
Friday 19th July 2013 – I think I’m nearly on top of it!
You know it’s a good feeling when you find yourself wandering round the allotment wondering what to do next. I’ve put several jobs by for the cooler weather, like finishing off the paths and wood chipping them, and thoroughly digging … Continue reading
Thursday 18th July 2013 – Oh, a gentle wind is blowing, and no it’s not me!
Still really hot, but with a breeze blowing, somehow it seems cooler. I’m still working through the beetroot and spring onion bed, and to my delight I finished it, and now it looks much better. All the varieties are coming … 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
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

Tuesday 18th June 2013 – Found a Radish shaped like bum!
I know that sometimes my veg are not the regulation shape and size, but today, honestly, I pulled up a radish that looked like a pair of bottom cheeks. Mark has the camera so I can’t add a photo of … Continue reading

Tuesday 11th June 2013 – Why did I sow soooo many cabbages? And other things.
You never know how many seeds are going to germinate, so you always tend to sow more that you need. But when practically all the seed from 1 packet germinate, sometimes you’re at a loss of what to do with … Continue reading

Monday 10th June 2013 – Brassicas here we go!
Now it’s time to get all my brassicas in. I’ve got quite a few, so it may take a while. But this morning I got in my Cabbage “Savoy” and “Candisa”, my Kale “Black Tuscany” and my Kohl Rabi “Purple, … Continue reading
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
