This last week I have mostly been spending money, needed a pea frame and my onions, shallots, and seed potatoes ordering - T&M have a full allotments worth for about £16.
These are the only things going in the allotment this year (half plot) because I’m carving up part of my back garden and putting a bed made out of a greenhouse base in it for all the stuff that needs really looking after. I’ve cheated and bought those veg and salad mats for it because they were on sale.
Out for a meal this evening but will bring in the new year at home. Happy New Year you guys.
I'm thinking of subscribing to a garden mag again, if the offer is still on 20 packets of seeds come with first mag. Will only need to buy spuds then to start chitting in New year.
Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year. Very cold down here in Gloucestershire, snow and storms so apart from the occasional trip to get some parsnips etc not done much on the plot. Our delivery of bark chippings came so got my paths done.
Quite a few people have left the site and there is one whole plot free nearer the gate. Very tempted but I don't want to leave my plot as I have put heart and soul into it. I have contacted our council to ask if the guys next door leave, then to let me know. Desperate for more growing space!!
Onions and garlic are showing now and I still have a lot of cabbages and kale in the ground. Raised beds have lettuce and rocket to harvest still!
Don't think I will be at the plot this week either, mother in laws funeral tomorrow and picking up a new car on Sunday! Missing gardening so here are some photo's of my before and after!

Expecting strong winds here over next few days so went to plot to make sure everything was batoned down and replaced some cracked glass in GH's.
There were quite a few plot holders there, prepping their plots ready for spring.
Hello , bought 10 autumn raspberry canes yesterday for new bed at allotment
Also popped up there with posts for the new bed , everything looked ok
Hoping to start again from Tuesday , although turning cold should be dry
Zoomer , ment to ask , just being nosey which Mag you where thinking about ?
The mag is kitchen garden, I fancied a change to GW mag.
Zoomer , when first got allotment somebody gave me a load of old back issues to read , Agree very good mag
I first read KG mag when I had a small kitchen garden but it's more for those with a large plot. Haven't actually ordered it yet...
Hi fellow plotters,
