British Sumemr time has arrived!!!!

YAY! andi have put in my strawberries, 3 rows of carrots, and two of parsnip! going to get my tatoes in next week, and hopefully get my raspberries in next week too!!!

I ache ALL over today, and i have lost the use in my arms from the bloody rotovator! still had great fun though.

Saturday 27th March!

Well, a whole year since i got my allotment! Wooo hoooooo!

And so to celebrate i hired a rotovator and ran riot on my plot! WHY did no one tell me that using one of those babies is the most fun you are likley to have with two wheels and a small motor on an allotment? So have got my strawberry bed ready, (they're going in tomorrow) and am going to try and get my tatties in too! maybe a row or two of carrots, and parsnips, might be able to get my raspbery canes planned out as well.


hehehe

Mothers day!

What a lovely mothers day, lovely morning with my two boys then an aftenoon at the allotment!!! COuld it be any better?

Have layed out where my paths are going to go, moved my rhubab from the middle of one of my paths and planted up another rhubarb i have had since last year! I laid a couple more slabs, well broken bits of slabs, infromt of my green house for a path and have started digging out the tap root weeds for rotovating! Also finshed the fence behing the shed, it is a sight of engineering lovelyness, hashed together with wire, old asbestos fence panels and bits of wood hammered into the ground with a large and heavey stone i found. Now thats true allotmenteering!

also caught my neigbour at the bottom smoking a very large and very potent smelling splif! how naughty,

WOOP WOOP 2010

Yay!

Been to the allotment today, collected my seed potatos, (god i am going to have so many again!!!!)

Ok I am sorry, i haven't posted for a long while now but here goes a bit of an update:

Finished:
Brocoli, Runner Beans. French Beans, red cabbage, Cauliflower,

Still IN:
Swede, leeks, savoy cabbage,

Recently Planted:
Three rows each of red and white over winter onions - already 3 inches high!

I have ordered stawberry plants and rasperbrry canes, thanks to nic for the brithday money,

I have pruned my gooseberry, and have started to hack at my poor old apple tree.

I also now have a new shed, a big one and a green house, which i cleaned this weekend.
Can't remember if i told you all this but Willy has dug out my ponds and filled in the holes, has dug and rotovated and dug again my plot! and given my a whole tonne of ash to spread with my horse poo to help the soil structure!

Have put in my seed potato order too so will be getting them in January. Yet to put in my big seed order but that will be done next weekend.

then i have to think about making a bed for my soft fruit and laying the slabs around my shed and greenhouse, and making the staging for the green house,
