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 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
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
Thursday 11th July 2013 – I had a delivery this morning.
Usually Mark get deliveries, but this morning it was my turn. The postman (in his van) turned up with a parcel for ME!! It was the bottles of Seaweed Fertiliser that I’d ordered over the weekend. I’d ordered two bottles, … Continue reading

Wednesday 10th July 2013 – Harvesting time.
Having been too knackered yesterday to go to the allotment, I pootled down today to see what mischief I could get up to. Lots as it seems, harvesting time is just beginning, and I was able to harvest my first … Continue reading

Friday 5th July 2013 – If we had no weeds, gardening would be much easier.
Whoever invented weeds should be given a good, stern talking to. They’re a pain in the bottom, and like all gardeners we dislike them very much. If anyone knows a way to get rid of them forever, please let me … 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 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
