Had a cupcake sale the other for alzheimers charity at allotment shop on Sunday I baked a lot of cupcakes and raised 32pound and 22p - keyboard symbols all messed up
went to the plot and planted out some bedding plants that brought planted in a diagonal square block
The spuds will clean the soil of any long tap weeds like bind weed, couch grass. that’s how we cleaned ours. Get right down to the roots without breaking the couch grass or it grows more.
The next delivery of manure leave it in a mound under plastic sheet where it will sweat and the worms will love it. When it’s steamy it’s ready to use.
we also put some manure in a cloth attached to a stick, hold it over a bucket for rainfall which will make liquid manure...drip, drip liquid gold..😂
Hello all , currently in Dover about to go on a Cruise to Hamburg , spent yesterday tidying up plot , very pleased with self , do wonder how many weeds will grow when away All ready got some onions & garlic drying more will be ready when we are back Spring peas eaten by something and Autumn peas pods eaten by something, probably mice looking at pods , the way it goes Picked last helping of asparagus, which has been particularly good this year and the strawberries 🍓 amazing Hope you are all keeping well
What a good harvest scroggin. You are well ahead of me, Strawberries just starting, red and white currants need picking and black currants haven't even started yet. Enjoy the cruise to Hamburg GWRS.
Been to allotment planting out flowers, Put paving slabs down the other day for my little shed, lots of watering have had to take garden hose to plot for watering late night tonight - did that last week and got bitten by mosquitos - does someone on here use cream to stop the bugs?
