I have read another book! And it was well worth the two month wait for the library to get it in.
I’m been interested in the subject of permaculture for a while and the more I found out about it the more interested and the more of a good idea, or right way of doing things, it seems to [...]

Watching things grow
Posted in Food, tagged Garden, seeds on July 23, 2009 | 2 Comments »
This morning the tray of lettuce seeds was starting to show small yellow-y leaves just starting to unfold, this evening the trays are filling up with tiny little plants with two green leaves. I’ve been watching the change happen throughout the day as I’ve popped in and out of the house for different things, it has [...]

I now have a knitting machine courtesy of a local freecycle member, this is to go along with my box of needles, drop spindle, travel sawing machine, peg loom and sock knitting machine. I desperately need to carry on with my decluttering to find room for it all, and space to set some of it up.
The [...]

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. [...]
A new lease of life

I’m really starting to feel the effects of the B12 injections, I haven’t had this much energy for ages.
I was working today but so far this evening I have weeded the vegetable garden, collected nettles for the goats, earthed up so potatoes and planted some more out. It doesn’t look as much as it feels [...]

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 [...]
Counting shoots

Everything is starting to come through nicely now, the two rows of spring onions that I was worried weren’t going to do anything they had taken that long are through. The kale and the rocket are nice little plants now (or most of them are, there are a few that would be if it weren’t [...]
Weekend seed sowing
Posted in Food, Garden, Home grown food, tagged Garden, potato, seeds on March 30, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The forecast wasn’t really the best for seed sowing as frosts were due, and there was one, so I didn’t really sow as much as I’d planned.
I did start of early carrots, red spring onions, to go with the white spring onions I sowed last weekend, rocket and kale for trying as salad leaves but [...]
