I’ve spent the afternoon at the allotment, weeding, tidying and digging over and manuring empty beds.
I also did some harvesting, the last of the runner beans as the plants have some sort of rust on them which has halted new flower buds so they have now come up, beetroot and courgettes which seem to be [...]

Well, I think an up-date on the allotment is well and truly over due by now but there doesn’t seem to be that much to report. We have been harvesting courgettes and beans and of course the kale but other than weeding and taking manure up there for new beds and to add to the [...]

Yesterday was been spent as all bank holidays should be spent starting with a laying in, followed by a morning on the allotment, a trip out to the garden centre and to pick up a few supplies for dinner then home again to potter around with the goats and cook a roast in the Rayburn.
Me, mother, middle-younger-sister and [...]

Spent this evening at the allotment, weeding mostly. I have been neglecting it for a week or so and I’m pretty sure that this is the first time I have weeded so I haven’t been doing badly. Everything has grow loads, including the thistles which are still a big problem, they are everywhere. We (Rhys came too) [...]

Spent a very busy couple of hours up on the allotment today with Rhys and middle-youngest-sister. All the time we were up there it was threatening to rain, and did start twice, but we still get a lot done. Three beds sorted, one for MYS’s tomato plants, half of one has gone down to peas, [...]

Well, yesterday and today I have been feeling a little bit down about the allotment as we still aren’t eating anything from it yet, the rabbits have had a good feed from it though! But then I thought about it with a more reasonable head on and we’ve only had them for just over two months, [...]

Today has mostly been a growing day. Me, mother, Rhys and middle-younger-sister spent a a good couple of hours at the allotment. The rabbits have eaten down the onion sets, beetroot and leek seedlings which is annoying. I think for the foreseeable furture then everything is going to have to have some kind of cover on it. [...]

If you had asked me a week ago about the allotment I would have said that I had given up on sowing seeds and was just going to start things off at home and then transplant them, there is a bird problem and a rabbit problem at the site and so far they have had [...]

Ok, so we have had the allotment for about five weeks now, and I think it is coming along nicely. Everyone else on the site seems to either have put in plants that they already had growing or bought in so it doesn’t look as green as some other plots but there is still a [...]

Well, I finished my job on Thursday. I’ve spent each day from last Saturday counting down the days. My last day was nice though, with a lot of eating including a very yummy chocolate cake. I’m really going to miss working there, with all my friends but I will be going back so it isn’t like I [...]
