flowers looking good even though i've had to treat them as they are riddled with greenfly
Sunflowers are looking good even though they are facing the wrong way (bugger)
The garden is rapidly emptying we have had a excellent crop of potatoes ,peas cabbages,beetroot and onions .Hopefully a good crop of brussel sprouts , parsnips ,turnips leeks, sweetcorn and pumpkins aswell but failed growing coli's and broccoli's all bolted but we won't give up gonna try again next year.Also planted more potatoes and beetroot and they growing really well already.
Hia Nanny Beach The dog who likes to photo bomb a lot of my photo's is Harvey my daughters white german shepherd who by the way knows me as GRANDAD he he when he comes to our garden he is like my shadow follows me everywhere and likes to play catch with his frizzby (all day if he had his way he he)
Hi 1Runnybeak1 pleased you have had a great crop aswell and i will take your advice with the sunflowers and put them where the cornflowers are.Its funny because before they flowered the buds would follow the sun(when we've had it up here in the NE) as the day went on so i thought once they flowered they would continue to do it but they have found thier position and stayed there facing my neighbours allotment who keeps telling they look great he he.
Baza your plot is looking great - nice pics, looks good on a sunny day nice place to sit out
Did you have something to take your pallets apart for your greenhouse?
the green house looking pretty well done - is that going to be a seedling house?
My plot seem to be going snail pace trying to fill that hole in I dug and remove all small bits of rubbish like glass and the weeds before putting the soil back in the hole, is nice when the sun is shining to be up the allotment plot
I brought a tool to take pallets apart a roughneck lifting bar just need to find pallets not easy to find at min
Hia GG i had the same problem with broken glass and still do i dig soil and nine times out of ten they will be a bit glass there but i'll keep throwing them away and hopefully get rid in time.
As for braking pallets up i use my fork lift truck where i work and have pallets a plenty so i'm lucky there. What i used to do is go round the trading estates and look for them there used to get loads .
I need a door for the greenhouse and was thinking about going to a place where they make them as i've been told that any scrap ones get put outside the unit for people to take and yes its gonna be a seedling house but mainly for flowers and hanging baskets as a lot of the family want them.
