  • We have the extreme wind weather today - think you would be blown away on an allotment plot today everything blowing over in garden

    Jo47 will be checking next time I go for the long handled cultivator - but not sure if I have missed out as In-excess is a shop that gets left over stock and sells it off cheaper

  • Hope you've all had a nice Christmas time - and I especially hope that those affected by floods have managed to salvage done sort of Christmas too image 

    we ate homegrown sprouts with our Christmas dinner, The first time I've ever eaten them! I'll be growing lots more next year that's for sure image 

    i am itching to get the growing started! Reckon within the next week or so I'll have got chillies on the go - start them off in the propagator then they can stay indoors until it's time to go in the greenhouse. I might get some broad beans and garlic started too - might as well take advantage of the mild weather while I can image

    Had a lovely Christmas Fruitcake.



    We've had two days without rain, not a cloud insight yesterdayimage



    The back garden is a mass of puddles and basement is taking in water each time it rains depending which way the wind is blowing, mopping up daily.



    I'm expecting guests tomorrow for the New Year, so had a clean and went to the tip. Called at the plot to collect some bagged up weeds.



    I' ve made a winter jobs 'to do' list and planting plan for 2016.
  • It hasn't rained here for two days so we managed to get to one of the allotments today to relocate the rhubarb and prune the autumn raspberries down. Tomorrow is expected to be a dry sunny day too so I'm hoping to get to the other allotment for some tidying up and hopefully a bit of digging over maybe. 

    I have a list in my head of what's going where next year but I need to get it down on paper coz I'll only forget otherwise lol 

  • Still to plant my broad beans still in pots, have to clear the area think lots of weeds mainly couch grass coming up where shed going so lots of digging to go 

    Got lots of my free wood put down garden need to get a saw to cut wood to make it into a planter for new station project,

    Went to In-excess garden centre one today and got a new border fork, they had lots of daffodils in flower in pots - had a free cup of tea as well

    Sounds as though lots of plans are being made
