Greetings.
What a lovely day! A bit of rain last night and a super sunny day.
Went up the Plot....did a bit of Arbour improving....followed by a bit of potting on and more sowing....beets (the ones that look like sweets) and purple sprouting. Very theraputic potting on.
Keep on enjoying!

Brilliant!
Greetings.
Have we reached a turning point? Has Summer arrived? We Bloomin well hope so and if this weekend is anything to go by it has! Brilliant and Glorious!
Well I was working the Van on Saturday and today I had a few fab hours on the Plot. And yes the dream has come true and I have a very fine Bamboo Bean Arbour! With some laughing and shaking of heads from the neighbours I think I have done a very fine job.
Did a little trading and got me a lawnmower for twenty squids. I've done the lawn..... and fine though it is the mower is only good for a person of short stature! On the upside it handles like a hoover and can be used one handed! So the Home Garden has had its first brush upand looking good it is too!
Girls are wonderful!

Summer....
it's Official!
Greetings.
Well of course it is after all "Spring Forward" into SUMMER! There's not a cloud in the sky....the big yellow thing is visible.....yet it's bloomin freezing! Doesn't stop the greenhouse needing a watering...and the birds a feeding. Oh the joys of Allotment Life.
I've had an idea.... not a big one or even an earthshattering one.... but just a little one. I think I'm going to make me a little walkway archway down the middle of the plot with some of the big bamboo I cut. I can grow my beans up it and line the edges with all the hollyhocks and lupins and things. Narce! Might even have space for some veggies! It'll be great for the bees...when I eventually get round to it. What with the Glads and Daliahs already in we're going to look like Chelsea!
I love Summer!
Keep on Enjoying.

Plotovision!
My nicely dug plot. Rhubarb on the right. The 300 down at the bottom. Weed pile...needs seiving and clearing. Offers?
In the greenhouse some of my trays.
Broad beans.
Bank Holliday Monday
Greetings
Hope you all had a lovely Easter. We had 12 for lunch and did....have a lovely day.
Well well well....the weather is bloomin lovely too! A bit breezy but in the greenhouse it's like a Summers day. Talking of which I've had a jolly good time in there too. All cleaned out and Bristol fashion. Loads more sowed....courgettes more beans and peas, toms and cucumbers. I now have 18 trays of stuff to water and look after. Oh and some pots of spring onions and leeks and some fresias on the go as well. Plot tilled over some more ....still a little reticent to sow out yet. Spoke to The Plots, Dave and Liz, not their real name...long story...but they have convinced me to do some spuds. I know I swore I wouldn't plant any more but hey I'm a gardner and mustn't be put off be a little set back. Gotta source me some Royals eh!
The Girls are looking good. Another egg today so we seem to be averaging one a day...not brilliant but good enough. Snail hunting is a full time hobby now as we know how much they like them. They are very pretty. ( My God ! what am I saying....chickens!)Photos very soon.
Graham came round with some raspberry canes...Brill!
So it's all good!
Keep on enjoying!
