Treats!

Greetings.

Well the Weatherman got it totally wrong! He said it was going to get cold and drizzly. Well I tell you Sir it's been beatiful! Yes Indeedy!

Out and about again and more potting on...there is another term for it but I think it's a bit rude....you know what I mean! And some more diggin cos I love it so much. And a bit of weedin around my 300...which as I've probably said before are now about 70. Weed pile is now tidier but still huge. It is sorta turning into compost....I may just let it do just that!

Now then here's your promised treat......

 Kindly note ..I have cleared pile of weeds from the middle of the path. A new addition for 2013...Bob's Bamboo Bean Arbour...Narce! Also  Bob's Bean Trellis! Rhubarb....Stunning!

 

And a view from the bottom! The Greater Weedpile bottom left. I gave in and put in a load of spuds...well you got to Bi Cri! they're on the left and on the right from the top...strawberries, broad beans, peas, then rows of carrots, beets , parsnips etc.

and the Greenhouse of course. Lots and lots going on in here.

 

Well I hope you continue to enjoy!

Super sunny!

Geetings.

Lots going on. More ....either sweed, beets or turnips (dont know what they are)...out.  Seeds sprouting.  Some  other green things ...out.  Bit of a theme going on here....nothing labeled!

Bit more digging done.

Still lots more to do though and now the battle to keep the weeds at bay. The plan is to keep hoeing before anything develops. Whether I can keep to the plan is another matter!

The Ladies are still being brilliant! 4 a day like clockwork.

Oh did I mention that today is Sunny? No?....well it is! Lovin it.

About to hit the Season for the Van. 3 day Boatshow and the Horses  next weekend and then 4 days of Horses for Liberation. Just going to pray for good weather. Busy busy.

Have a bit of a pumpkin glut.......

Keep on enjoying!

Abitot.

Awesome.

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.
