Good morning at plot , dug a bed of potatoes 🥔 and put them to dry in g/h at home O/H picked all the tomatoes 🍅 and cucumbers 🥒. Cleared courgettes and sweet corn 🌽 plants a found a few more Noticed hazel nuts trees in car park so picked a few Going again tomorrow
Took the car today as I was going to harvest all of my apples, while there I noticed that there was a huge orange pumpkin on the vacant plot next door, typical I thought I grew a huge pumpkin plant and didn't get a single pumpkin, it wasn't until I was in the car heading to the top of the allotment site to turn around that the penny dropped, it was my pumpkin which had grown through the fence, I stopped off at the plot and put my wellies back on trudged to the top of the plot and sure enough the pumpkin was growing on a runner from my plant hooray!
Finally got to allotment , O/H planted onions , shallots ( will buy some more ) and garlic and then had a good burn up Both my rose arches have snapped in winds , so started building a new one , will put a picture on when finished Also laid 4 slabs Took 4 hard wood rose cutting as well Had left a couple of lettuces that had gone to seed , just see but decided to get rid of them into compost bin Worn out having a beer before dinner Would like to go there on Sunday but depends on weather , hear hoping
Did a lot of grass cutting round my plot and on the grass "road" across the top. It was a bit damp but I hope it wont grow much now so I wont have to trudge through wet grass in the winter. At least it will activate my compost bins nicely.
Hello all , grew Cucamelons for the first time this year , have had them in salads so far , O/H has pickled some , will try them in salsa Anybody else grew them ?
Full day at allotment , got 5 small raised beds covered in manure to be left over winter Got 2 large beds covered in membrane for winter O/H finished planting onions & shallots and did lots of dead heading I planted broad beans & spring onions under cloches Finished repairing rose arch , one more to go Subject to weather might get everything done before Winter comes
Another full day at allotment , lots done Replaced broken second broken rose arch , must put a pictures on site , really pleased how it went , not the best DIY person in the world 🛠 Will need to go to tip next week as lots of rubbish to wet to burn
Went to plot this morning and took 12 bags of wet rubbish to tip , would normally have burnt this . Normal route flooded so had to go the long way around
