Well done you mumof4. You will have the satisfaction of knowing you have achieved it all yourself. Do the kids help? Mine are 21 and 19 and will occasionally lend a hand.   :D

Help  :D  ages 8 1/2, 7, 5 they love going to the allotment and I've sunk a sandpit in the ground which has proved a big hit. We've also got community chickens which they help to feed. Josh my oldest bought a lovely wooden handle junior hoe so he could help with the weeding and it's better than my cheap one from B&Q.

They will hep more when the polytunnel is up and running.

Good for you!
Self-sufficient in rasberries and bindweed. Slug pellets can be handy.

I have pointed this out to him and this evening he has even suggested i get another plot as we think he may be made redundent this year.  :roll:

Good for you!


Must admit felt quite proud of myself and i did all the hammering and cut all the wood myself. Just hope i haven't missed out on starting crops off in the poly. Have plenty tomatoes and peppers to go straight in and some french beans
