Hello all, I am here - pics of shop for you all to see again, did decide not to go for the other plot as need to do a lot to the one I have
Hello Aster2 where abouts are you? I am in Hampshire Southampton
I need to do that repeat sowing thing this year, still not started sowing anything yet. last year I sowed my celery seeds today - found out they are a bog plant really so need a lot of water and feeding
Went to a GC potato weekend today in Salisbury in Courtens GC first time been there did look ok bit cold as more of a nursery they did have a big wood burner probably even nicer on a non raining day, brought some green courgette seeds from kings - partenon F1 the seeds do not require pollination which is brill - they had a whole range of kings seeds amazing all with pictures
Oops came away with 2 potatoes Albert Bartlett Apache multi coloured was not going to get any more spuds but I did - they are chitting with the rest
Went and looked at there pear trees they had about 4 sorts looks as though they were self fertile but would benefit from another pear tree in the same pollinating group they had b or c - they were in 10 litre pots and cost £34.99 each good looking trees but I am only looking and finding information for now
Got through the post my kings seeds cucamelons, white cucumber, yellow cosmos, and yellow spineless courgette - sunstripe
I can't get over your allotment shop Gg and give it 4 stars...
Went to the plot this morning, as it was cold, I built a fire and burned the big woody roots from last years crop. Picked some kale and leeks. Neighbouring plot holders are going on their jollies to Australia for a few weeks and as they were leaving, said it was ok to pick the last of their brussell sprout crop, so came home with brussells too...
Zoomer44 sure they would like that, here is a pic I took a while back of the outside of the building to the far left not in picture is where the toilets are about the same length but in the stone bit, the building is the same stone as the garage in the back garden here - so must of been built about the same time
You can see the bit with the compost area in the right, seats and the bit where they cut the rolls - like weed matting
GWRS am going to try a few different things, it is good to do that
Went to the plot, dug over a bed and built another low fence from half pallets across the bed.
There were a lot of other plot holders there today, quite a few new faces. We no longer have a waiting list and so an ad went in the local paper this time.
life is quite busy with two plots! I'm at one every day because that's where my chickens are, the other one, less so I'm planning on going to the other one later today or tomorrow to get some digging done and a couple of plastic cloches down to get warmed up a bit for garlic and onions to go in.
I have potatoes chitting away quite nicely and have already started sowing chillies, peppers and tomatoes
Hi all, spent about 5 hours up at the plot yesterday, the longest for ages (I only went to take some broccoli and cabbage plants up to store in the polytunnel !!) Didnt see a soul there even though the weather was dry and sunny!
Dug over and weeded quite a few areas, hard work as its so sticky at the moment, pleased to see a heavy frost this morning and its going to be -3 tonight, should break up the soil nicely
Garden Girl How many plots do you have on your site? Thats a very big shop you have!
I only took on my plot in October, but I've been astonished at how few people there are on the site, even though most plots are taken. Perhaps they'll all surface in spring, but I wonder.

Gardengirl, I'm in Herts, near St Albans. Your allotment shop looks wonderful!
