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
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

Friday 14th June 2013 – Much better day than yesterday.
I feel very naked without my fence panel up, but I’ve asked the guys who are going to replace our fence if they are able to do it sooner than we first requested. I’ve not yet heard back from them … Continue reading

Friday 17th May 2013 – Make sure the fork is in the ground firmly, otherwise it’ll fall on your head!
