Awesome.

Greetings!

Now I'm either delusional or not understanding the whole pagehits thing. I'm over 1300 hits now and I don't really know if you're real people or just cyber miss - hits or whatever. If you have landed on my page for whatever reason please say hello and I might visit you back! Now I don't really care if you do or not as it's not really going to change my life but it's just nice to know that there's life out there.

Now then....rant over....onto the Plot. All great! Things are shooting along...I swear that my lettuces have doubled in size overnight. Stroll on! Still getting the odd snail in ...where do they come from?

Stuff is basically growing. Marvelous! All my pumpkins are up...a bit worried that they'll take over when they get going....I think I might plant a few in Pips without him seeing.! Heehee!

Apologies for slight madness...
Off now

Snail....

........madness!

Greetings.

I hate snails. It's Official. Darn critters hide themselves away in the day and then come out at night and eat all my little seedlings. Spending lots of time hunting them and then feeding them to the ladies who love 'em!

On the Plot.....parsnips, turnips, sweeds, chard....in.

Peas and beans looking good. 300 looking like 100 though :(

In the greenhouse almost everything up now and apart from the odd nibbled cabbage I'm quite happy.

Weather still good...warm and sunny.

Could harvest some rhubarb now!

Spuds chitting away in the shed and when I've got some more time they'll be in soon.

The Ladies are back up to 4 a day.

Graham's raspberry canes have survived and looking good.

It's all good!

Keep on enjoying Allotmenteers.

Weekend!

Greetings.
Well it's been a fabby week what with it being my birthday an all. Received some lovely presents...a book about chickens, a garden voucher and a book about old agricultural machines......some really good looking Fergies to get you going!
The ladies are coming along great....we've had a 4 3 4 Wed Thurs Fri! I've sold my first half dozen too.
The rain however is stalling my outdoor sowing! Darn it! Indoors I've been thinning out lettuce and potting on various flowers and cabbages and the like.  Chillies are coming through and beets doing well. Just need a bit more SUN now...please....thank you very much.

Was hoping to move the muck heap today....but it doesn't look like that's going to happen!

 Come on! It's so frustrating!!!!!!

Here's hoping Sunday will be better.

Keep on trying to keep on!

Abitot!
