Not a great deal is happening

Well, the weather is so crap, and not having a car i haven't had a great time to get to the allotment. It is driving me bonkers - really want to get down there and weed, harvest my potatos, carrots and beets, need to get rid of the peas, need to plant my green manure, need to tie in my strawberries, need to feed my toms and tie them in, and pinch out the side shoots, - JUST STOP RAINING!!!!!!!

time to catch up

Well wha with holidays and car breakdowns and looking for a new car i haven't had chance to get down to the allotment int he last three wekks or so, zso today i got yup early and was down there by 9.15!!! On a sunday too!!

I hoed everywhere - fed the tomaotes, weeded the strawberry patch, dug the onions, planted my leeks, fed and slug pelleted my brasicas, and generally sorted. harvested beetroot, carrots, lettuces, and radishes too. All looking good now.

18th June

Well I helped out in the shop again today and earned my big boy stripes.... And i have officially joined the big boy club too! Roy offered to water the green house whilst i was on holiday! Check me. I'm old and i am  a man now.

Picked my first decent harvest of peas. Yum Yum forzen a load of them and am looking forward to throwing them down with some sausage mash and gravey later this week! Ate a few more raspberries, and strawberries. Will be loosening the onions soon and the garlic too, potatoes aren't too far off being ready, and it is all getting very excitable now! Woo Hoo!!!

Must hoe and tidy up, viv and paul are coming down for a viewing on Monday.

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!!!
