Good morning all , just got back from Tenby Gardengirl nice to see your trophies 🏆 , you must be pleased Tomatoes 🍅 have finally ripened while been away We also freeze stuff , I think we only have French beans & gooseberrys Hoping to go to plot this afternoon to have a look Hope all’s well with everybody 😀
Hello everybody , went to plot , can’t believe how the weeds have grown Been this morning and dug up a bed of main potatoes , not to bad O/ H did loads of harvesting , put a load of pattipans and marrows by allotment gate , when we left they had all gone
Thanks GWRS will get name on the trophys when take to shop, weeds are growing quick - good you have an area to give away extra veg, I suggested it and no one wanted it - think cause people have had crops stolen
strimmed grass in garden today got really long bit cold out weather has well changed
Did harvest one potato and had a massive crop from one spud planted and a whopper potato not had yet
Hants Hog like idea for bottles with water , will do that I will put some green manure on a couple of beds I have an old strawberry bed I am going to dig up and with cover that with plastic compost bags over winter , now held down with water filled bottles I’m also going to try weed surpesent membrane Hoping to spend weekend at plot
Hope everyone is having a good season. I noticed onions and garlic are in the shops, I've bought mine and plan to plant out this month. I lined my compost pallets with what was to hand-heavy duty weed surpressant. My beds are covered with card board a layer of manure then black plastic.

I line my pallets with a ground stabilisation fabric (not weed suppression fabric) you can get it from any good DIY or builders merchant.
I grow green manures generally over winter with the odd bit of weed suppressing material just held down with old 2lt drinks bottles filled with water.
