Went to the plot later today as went on a pallet hunt and got some good bits of wood a few breeze blocks some pallets and long pallet planks and will go get more sometime
Here is a picture of the plants is it kale? or something else - picture took late so was getting dark
Gardengirl , not sure if it is kale , I have only grown curly kale but there are other varieties , why put it on a general thread or ask other allomttment holders ?lets us known if you get a posative answer , sorry can't be more helpful
your wood pile keeps getting bigger
somebody dumped a pallett at the allottments the other week , so I had it
there is a wood yard that leaves them outside of there gates and you can help yourself , just can't fit them in car , shame
GWRS I put a thread on they think it is broccoli never grown that before
Went to the allotment today with more long pallet planks and pallet goodies from another pallet hunt yesterday to the same place, off loaded all at the allotment plot, then managed to get some digging done found more rubbish bit of a netted bag and more bits
Went up to my plot on Wednesday to dig up a few more parsnips for dinner,, hah, that was a right game. The clay soil is so sticky now that they wont pull out, I have to loosen the soil around them and tease them out with brute force.(I wont be beaten though!!)
Had some good news from my council officer. I wrote to ask if she could get me some more space on an adjacent plot and she has agreed to ask next door (the guy thats never there), so who knows, might have a bigger patch soon!!
Ginagibbs that is terrible sending over some tissues and a hot drink, good new if it goes well this time with the extra bit of land
Went to the allotment done a small bit of digging then cut the grass the cutting were blowing all over the place - great push mower - grass looks much better now just wish the paths were flat to be easier to cut
Found my daffodil bulb so moved that to the plot number sign and moved the hyacinth bulbs there as well today
Also found out by going to look in the large area for bark chippings that a load of compost is there so will be bagging some of that up looks good stuff
Hello all , Ginagibbs extra land exciting , hope it happens
Hoped to spend day at allottment but far to windy , did go up and got some veg , temporary fence repair and retrieved water but lid
went shopping this afternoon with o/h and got a new pair of boots for allottment in Sainsburys sale , noticed heal splitting on existing ones
helping out with Lincoln Christmas market tomorrom , then Monday preparing for meetings Tuesday & Wednesday , could be next weekend before venturing up there
Jo 47 , something to think about or is your garden big enough , that why I got one , garden just not big enough but house in such a great position , wouldn't move
Definatly one of my better decisions getting half then acquiring other half
Went to.the allotment on Fri and took up the weed cover and turned the soil over as all the weeds had died. I've put the weed cover over the growing mountain of weed/soil at the front of the plot.
Thank you for the wigwam ideas, they look fab! ????
Although I love windy weather, especially when going for a walk along the beach but my poor fence in the garden needs a lot of work.
Popped to the allotment shop ordered 1 kilo of pentland javelin potatoes, and brought some fleece for when the broad beans get to the plot, also picked up some free seeds out of date - parsnip gladiator f1, borecole scarlet, water melon sugar baby and dill
Thanks Jo47 are you planning on a patch in the garden for veg
