Woo Hoo - Space problem all sorted! I am going to jab my leeks in around my few parsnips and acrrots, use the space i was saving for my leeks for my sweetcorn, use the space i was going to use for my sweetcorn for the rest of my brassicas, wait for my peas to finish and put in my over winter brassicas  there and then the onions will be ready for harvest and ill green manure there! Few - glad i got that sorted!!!

bank holiday weekend.

8lb of starwberries picked yesterday! so home made jam here we come.....
as for the plot, i spent most of my time luggin around 360lts of compost and picking strawberries! will update later.

this weekend!

Got loads done this weekend...sown runner and borlotti beans, harvested strawberries (yumyum!) planted up greyhound cabbage, draker cauliflower and autum sprouting broccoli, planted toms in to their pots in the green house, sown three little rows of swede, sown a small row of raddish, and a small row of spring onions, sown some rocket and....

....RUN OUT OF SPACE AT THE ALLOTMENT! Whats that all about Alfie?

Sorry -

I've just worked out why i haven't been able to post for ages - technical difficulites sorted now on with the veggies! I won't bore you with everything that is doing well (smug smug woman!!!) I'll just list may failures.

1st lot of beetroot didn't do a great deal, raddishs have been munched on by flea beetle (but the raddish bit tastes GOOOOOOD) spring onions just hate me - its official. Parsnips - only got patchy germination, might just get enough for a couple of meal fulls. Carrots - well carrots like light sandy stone free soil so i am screwed.

Had to fight zach off the strawberry patch the other day and plan to do something with my brassicas on saturday, should prbably plant my runner beans and borlotti beans too! oh yeah - need to buy more canes and put them up before i can do that.

And i have a session at the shop coming up soon too!! whoo hoooooo
