Week 9

Spent a good few hours at allotment today. We needed to move the rubbish at the top of the plot. This is where I would like a shed. The previous owner didn't leave this in a very good condition. Anyway we set to and we soon shifted all the rubbish. We also put up a sort of fence blocking the dirt tip that has built up over the years. I manage to sow my lettuce seeds. The soil is still too wet and very heavey to do much raking. Hope that this week we have some dry weather so next week I can prepare some more beds and start to sow more seeds. Below are some photos of the top of the plot one before and one after. Spot the differnce.

Week 8

Down to the allotment this week. A lot to do as we have not been down for a few weeks due to the weather. Very muddy due to the rain that we have been having. Husband and Son carried on with the heavy digging, they dug up more parsnips which were planted last year by previous owner. We had them roasted for sunday lunch, very tasty they were too. I did some weeding and prepared a small patch for my lettiuce. Have been reading my vegetable plotter and it says that we can start to plant our parsnips and carrots this month. Thats a job for next week weather permitting. Anyway thats all from me til next week.

week 7

It rained again so we didn't go down to the allotment. Stayed at home and looked after my seedlings.
