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

Wednesday 24th July 2013 – Gooseberries are very painful!
Well my hands and lower arms are covered in scratches. It looks like I’ve been attacked by a cat or something with claws, but I’ve not, it was just my Gooseberry bush. Those thorns are really long and sharp. Does … Continue reading
Wednesday 17th July 2013 – Harvesting in full flow.
It just amazes me how much courgettes grow from one day to the next. You look at them one day and you think to yourself “Oh, they’re a little small, perhaps another couple of days, maybe 3”. Then the following … Continue reading

Thursday 4th July 2013 – Finally all my cabbages are in, yippee!!
Well I started by weeding one rather large bed, which took me all morning. I was getting a little peckish, but decided that when I’d finished weeding and watering that bed, then it was time for lunch. I’m so stern … 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
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

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
