I'm just off to see if mine is still there... before it gets too dark.  

[whistler]

I started to dig in the mustard that I planted in September and didn't get round to turning in.  I'll be ready to put the broad beans in later this month. (Glad I didn't plant them earlier).

Cut a bit more turf from where we are extending a big bed. Drank lots of coffee listened to the birds singing and felt a lot more cheerful for my labours!

Had a bonfire, some drinks and mince pies!

I picked some kale and sprouts, dug up a few leeks, and a parsnip ( for The Mighty V ), and even got a teeny handful of calabrese from some plants I'd left in from last year It'll all become part of tonights tea ( except the parsnip, I don't like root veg ). Damn I love growing food

Ohhh, and I sowed my onions, although I got called "weird" and "interesting" when I replied to all the "Happy New Year to the whole of my address book because I'm an idle git" messages with "ohhh!!!! I just sowed hundreds of seed!"

What a busy lot you've all been - good for you! Nice party on the plot too. (Jealous or what?  )

I made my first trip to the plot since 5th December!! It was good to see it was still there. 

I finished digging my half-plot but didn't have time to dig in compost from the heap. Normally it'd be almost empty by now... There we go - exceptional weather so can't be helped.

I lifted a few leeks and scarpered before it got so dark I could't find the gate. A good start to the New Year.

I finally cleared up the leaves and found that procrastination pays off! It was a very easy job because the winds had swept them all cleanly into one area, amazingly beside the compost bin.  :happy:

That's the allotment spirit

[Junie]

Yesterday, rotavated the whole plot, turned in the manure and lime to the different areas,dug up parsnips, and looked at the sad excuses for sprouts, kale and cabbages that the rabbots are enjoying, ( must have been really hungry as they are getting through electric poultry netting!) while hubby and son, cut up fallen trees for the log pile.  We now have a public holiday then Sunday, so no outdoor machinery will be running!

[Zippy]

Removed the rubbish left by the committee when they dismantled the shed on my new plot to give to someone else.

Dug over (yes me digging) one of the beds on the new plot; the rest of the plot doesn't need digging over as I will plant squashes and brassica. Squashes ramble over the topsoil and brassicas like it firm anyway.

Still can't walk with this sciatic pain been incapacitated since Christmas Eve  so I have not been to the plot for ages. I am going stir crazy

I guess the cold weather hasn't helped you much either. 
                                    Here's wishing you a warm and more comfortable Spring.

Well the weather looks to be good today so I will be weeding between the onions and just tidying up the rest of the plot.

[mumofstig]

I had a look at mine  and picked some swede and cabbage. The leeks are still looking ok as well.

Spent hour and a half in the sunshine digging in manure!
