God over half way through sept already!
First off - THANK YOU MUMMY for the help this afternoon, my brassicas hasve never looked so weed free!
Well One Eyed Willy is a true trooper - not only has he dug out a little tree stup that actually went down a good the and a half foot he has also dug out the elder that was infront of the shed! Which Shaun knocked down last weekend and is now sitting in two separate piles waiting for a great big bonfire party come november!
Willy is also going to dig out the two ponds and fill it in with spare soil he has on his allotment! Also he is giving me a large shed and a cold frame! Oh and I also gogt a massive bag of carrots off him and 5 of the biggest parsnips i have EVER seen!
And all this guy wants is a 'couple of cans of Mansfield bitter' - god i'd be happy to buy him bloody shares in the company. he is a trooper!
I harvested the following today:
Calabresse - enough for three meals and some for viv
3 cauliflowers - 1 each for me viv and willy,
Runner beans - yeah tonnes again
3 red cabbaage - one for viv and two for me - gonna pickle one and braise another for the freezer.
We were certianly ladden down with produce when we left!!!

5th Sept
God i can't believe it is september already - where did the year go!!!
Any way I have shovelled half a tonne of hos shit this morning, it is all where i want it now it smells really good and is all crumbly and steaming! how sad that i get excited about pooh!!!
Anyway harvested my first cauliflower this morning, got a red cabbage last week and used my first leek for the sausage casserole this eveing! Colin gave me some brocoli and Roger gave me 15lb of Damsons..... Now what the hell am i going to do with 15 bloody lb of damsons.
MUMMY can i borrow the jam Kettle!!!
On another note got to the allotment today and one eyed willy has pulled down and replavced his fence, and ripped out all of the old tree stups on my side, dug up the willow tree, puttede out a whole load of bind weed and got rid of most of the nettles, filled the big pond anf has offered to fill the little pond too!! What a shock I wasn't happy at first as my carrots got trampled and squashed but they probably wouldn't have amounted to much anyway so I am very grateful as he has saved me a whole heap of work. Going to Plant an apple tree and a plum tree in the bit he has cleared later on in the year and grass over the pond for a sitting area - all very civilised!
