Friday 12th August 2016 – Loads more harvesting.
I just love this time of year when all that hard work is paying off. You go down the allotment with an empty box and come back with it completely full to the brim. This is what mischief I got … Continue reading
Saturday 7th May 2016 – Potting up Sweet Peppers and lots more tomatoes.
Yes today is World Naked Gardening Day (first Saturday in May), and this afternoon I’ve been in my very hot greenhouse wearing minimal clothing. Gravity takes over on certain parts of the body as you get older, and naked crouching … Continue reading
Thursday 5th May 2016 – More Tomato Seedlings
I’m gradually working my way through potting up all my Tomato seedlings. I’ve got loads to do, so I am getting them done when ever I have a spare few minutes (or half hour). This afternoon I managed to pot … 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

Wednesday 31st July 2013 – Wow I harvested a lot just now!
I popped in the greenhouse first thing this morning, firstly to water, secondly to tie up some tomatoes, and finally to see in there was anything ready to harvest. I was so excited that my first “Moneymaker” tomato was ready … 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

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

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
