Tuesday 29th May 2014 – My Strimmer is in the mower hospital!!

Monday 19th May 2014 – More potting up done, I’m getting there slowly.
I had about an hour this afternoon before I needed to start dinner, so I went in the greenhouse and potted up a few more bits and pieces. The greenhouse wasn’t as hot as it gets during the day, as … Continue reading

Now the kids are on holiday, they can help me with various things around the house and garden. I don’t use them as slaves, just incase you’re wondering, but if they’re looking bored, or I’m doing a job that seems … Continue reading

My birthday weekend away!!
Let’s just say that I’m no longer in my 30’s. I was getting a bit freaked out about no longer having a 3 at the beginning of my age, but now it’s turned into a 4, it’s not so bad. … 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
