Planted a load of hawthorn hedge down the side of plot and recycled some edging blocks to make a nice edge.

The son-in-law came along with his trusty van full of tools to secure one half of the wavering allotment gate. His reward was a selection of vegetables and most of the banana cake I had just cooked. His wife, the daughter, says that most of the banana cake has now been eaten with ice cream!

Pulled out loads of couch roots from a 8m X 4m bed, dug it over and rotorvated it then spread manure over where the broad beans will be. Will dig it in in a fortnight then plant my first broad beans. Loads of couch roots left in some of the other new beds so some back breaking trips coming up in the next few weeks!!!

Another load of wood ash, this time through the sieve so fine particles only!

laid the rest of the paved path to the shed, lit the wood stove in the shed, had a brew, picked some very young PSB heads to have in a stir fry tonite.

The veg patch is looking very wet, but My compost is looking good mind!

[4th season allot]

Added 16 barrow of manure to my muck heap and put another new bird box up.


This one is for the sparrows who like a communal roost

Yesterday I went digging in a far corner of the newer of the two allotments to get a little bit more cleared and fit to use. What I thought was just a left heap of soil covered yet more rusty metal. There's a long way to go there. So nice to know that there's only a little digging to do on number one plot when the leeks and brussels are all picked.

[4th season allot]

Forked some manure into what will be a full bed of Strawberries this year , then planted some runners out.

[mrsbean]

picked sprouts for dinner, leeks for soup.

[Mr Rotavator]

Picked leeks, topped up bean trench, bit of a tidy and gave my daughter a ride in the wheelbarrow (don't tell my OH).

[Trikidiki]

Cleared an old strawberry bed but saved a dozen plants which have gone into the greenhouse to hopefully get a small early crop then they can add to the compost heap.

Potted up some Charlotte potatoes that had 'chitted' in the vegetable rack in the kitchen.

Started clearing the debris from an ash bough that crash landed on the edge of my plot.

[mum51965]

I went up and measured the area, approximately 15m x 7 so 45ft x 21. Doesn't look that big but will feel it when it comes to digging. The ground was frozen solid this morning.

[Trikidiki]

Potted up the Aldi fruit trees.

Set up the 'Great Polythene Temperature Experiment'.

[Aled]

It was dry Sun, Mon & Tues, then today its chucking it down again. Veg patch back to soaking wet again!
