GWRS show went ok we went around and saw what people had entered and watched the people get the trophys few to same people, some new people entered this time.
First time been on our siteon the grass area, few plot holders around dont know all the people
lot less lists in booklet as space not as big as as a hall would be
some pictures for you to look at
My dad found a battery for strimmer and got it so used it friday and yesterday gives me about 20 minutes most of plot done and off plot paths
Dear little deer jumped over my wire netting fence and trampled/ate some of my sweetcorn plants ah! well I don't think that the sweetcorn will come to much this year anyway, on a brighter note dug some Desiree potatoes and it looks as if it will be a good harvest.
Good that someone is getting a harvest of spuds ours are a disaster this year so far. Very poor yield and lots of slug damage. Hoping the maincrop Setanta will save the season. The tops are still green so risking leaving a while longer.
Harvested the spuds today 163lbs from 6kg of seed Desiree bought from Wilko, should see us through until the end of January or maybe February. I commented to the allotment chairman that this year has been my best harvest in 9 years she said that they had blight on the site, touch wood my plot has never suffered I think that is because I'm on the West edge of the site so the wind is predominately from the housing estate so no blight spores blowing in.
I removed most of tomatoes on my plot yesterday as they were showing signs of blight. Three healthy plants of a different variety left...but not holding much hope. Used the space for some beetroots and spring onions that I grew as plugs. Such a shame as I put them in very late and they grew beautifully.
Been to plot today , dug up a row of main crop potatoes 🥔 as I expected hardly any Picked Blueberries, blackberries, 2 cucumbers , 3 courgettes, toms Pulled a carrot 🥕 and a beetroot , very impressed hope they are all like that Put a membrane over a large bed & 2 smaller beds horse manure , getting ready for winter Depending on weather and jobs at home where I get there over the weekend
