took down some peelings for the bean trench and discovered 2 bits of polycarb had popped out in the wind, the day after I thought I'd fixed everything in well... :(

Nothing but im soon to be on my new plot. Ill start a topic soon when i get pics and start clearing it up. Go down on Wed to pay my fee and get the keys. Its a nice full sun allotment and only half a mile up the road from me. Very exited  :D

Will be nice not to be restricted to my garden anymore  :happy:

might have to change your name to Pumpkinplot?? :D
small, Welsh and almost certainly bonkers, but can be tamed with Talisker, if required

WOW, how very exciting!!!  Iwould love a plot instead of a tiny postage stamp patch.  Enjoy, looking forward to hearing about it all  :D

I still havent been able to get there but if the weather stays fine this week  :dry: I think I will try and venture there. Had my 1st physio assessment today and it doesn't look too good  :(
Oh well I shall just do the best I can on my plot.
I have however just dienfected a load of pots at home ready for cauli and cabbage seeds, my potatoes are all chitting so at least something is getting done here.

How do I get rid of the smell of Jeyes Fluid?  :wacko:
I came I saw I grew my own veg

I don't think you can... apart from acclimitising to the smell so you stop smelling it?
(i love the smell)

I'm itching to dig... i'm dreaming of rolling back the black plastic and whacking with my azada to get more brambles out.... but the soil is still too STICKY! argh!

Mowed the lawn, mainly to hoover up some leaves and herb tidyings and chucked it all in the bean trench to keep my old jeans company!

Covered up bean trench to get the excavated soil out of the way and planted some garlic in the space.

(That's one good thing (possibly the only good thing!) about sandy soil; you could probably still dig it during a monsoon if you were that way inclined!)  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Picked last sprouts (10  lb) and cleared bed of plants, discarded kale, spring cauli,s and purple sprouting broccoli that suffered beyond repair in winter frosts. Ordered 20 x13ft scaff boards to build another 6 raised beds. Supped about 8 cups of tea  :)
I used to work in a helium gas factory, but I walked out, no one talks to me like that.

Cut back half the over hanging hedge, scrubbed out pots for seedlings and put potatoes out to chit.

Please tell me what an "azada" is cos if it gets brambles out easily I really really need one.
