Just put a slideshow together for my year of veg growing  and my giant onion disaster.

It's amazing how successful you can make a bad year look if you leave out all the disappointing photos.

The camera never lies ........NOT !!..

May I ask, in the photos, what is it that has a sort of protective cage around its base?

And I am now sat in dreamland wishing that one day I may own an allotment and have such a successful yield as what you have clearly had there!

[Bombers]

Looks like a good year there Vegmandan!
I can see a deffinate weed free theme there

Oh that'll be the anti mouse pea protector.

I sow the peas and then bury a length of 10mm metal mesh over them and it's the only way I can stop mice digging my peas up.

Then the peas just grow up through the holes in the mesh.

IT works Wahey !!!!!....

That's great!  I really enjoyed that. That's a good idea, taking the pics successionally so you get a seasonal view. I shall try and do that next year  Lovely veggies you got there

This time next year I will have photoshopped all my photos to remove the weeds and dead leaves and bugs and all nasty stuff and then post em here (with a duplicated mile of peas just for DD :-) )

Just kidding Dan, your plot is Superb with a capital S, and I am so jealous! I wish I could do it anywhere near as well as you.

Giant onion disaster maybe Dan, but Id have been happy with your medium ones. I am definately going to have a go at the big ones in the next couple of years though, it'll be good fun (until I fail)

 :cry:

Absolutely stunning!!!! You should be very proud of yourself!! I love the idea of the planking around your bed.....might just have to nick that idea!!

[GaryH]

Silly question, but how do you get your onions so big...

[Beetroot queen]

Brilliant I really enjoyed it too

Just wish the phone would ring so we could get our hands on a plot. I am doing my best in pots and spare soil in the garden but its just not the same  

[Big Jen]

I really enjoyed watching that. All that hard word definately pays off.
Loved the curley cucumbers :roll:

I am with you their Beetroot queen, I have an old shoe cabinet (basically 4-tier stand) with as many pots on it that i can fit, and two mini greenhouses full to bursting :S

We have no 'garden' only crazy paving, and it's rented so we can not pull the paving up and have a garden.

RING ME!!! I want a Lottie!  

[crackedflowerpots]

wow! great pics , great plants,great veggies the only thing that spoils it is the lack of weeds :cry:  ... I am able to send you plugs of various weeds if you should decide to try to achieve perfection next year

[Aunt Sally]

Wonderful photos and fantastic veg Dan.  You should be proud

Great allotment, well done.
Did I see a ladder in one of your pictures and is it to aid planting from.
I have a old ladder in my garage and may give it a go if my guess is correct.
