Plot 195B: The bee and the poppy
http://plot195b.blogspot.com/2010/06/bee-and-poppy.html
Thursday, 3 June 2010. The bee and the poppy. This morning at the allotment I literally saw this poppy flower open in front of my eyes and, immediately, a bumblebee came to visit, so I indulged in a short photographic break:. I believe this bee might be a Large Red-tailed Humble-bee. But I could be totally wrong. I promise the next post will be about progress I have made on the plot. 19 July 2010 at 22:25. I will pop by again to see how you are getting on. Best of luck with it all. The bee and the poppy.

Plot 195B: March 2010
http://plot195b.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Wednesday, 24 March 2010. Rain had been predicted for today, but, when I saw it wasn't raining and not looking like it was going to soon, I decided to grab the opportunity and pop round the allotment for more weeding. During my first pause, this visitor was on one of the neighbouring plots, but I have also seen a dunnock and crows on others. 4 robins were in the tree by the entrance when I arrived; some were to be heard, as well as blackbirds and tits, all around me as I was working. Monday, 22 March 2010.

Plot 195B: first day
http://plot195b.blogspot.com/2010/03/first-day.html
Friday, 19 March 2010. I got some tools and gloves on Wednesday, so this morning I went to the allotment in order to start on the weeding. Sky was blue, weather looked nice as I left home, but as I was walking I could see this big band of grey clouds that looked very threatening. Thankfully rain held until I was back home :). I still need to get a composting bin, in the meantime a big heap will do. Not in there however was most of the nettles as I took these home to make soup. View my complete profile.

Plot 195B: The Plot
http://plot195b.blogspot.com/2010/03/plot.html
Sunday, 14 March 2010. I'd almost given up hope.". So, yesterday morning, I went to the allotments to be shown my plot, pay my rent, and get the key. I also got potato seeds as I was told these were going fast and it is one of the first crops I intend to do. This morning, I went back there with A, to show him the plot, take a few photos, and take stock of what there is and what there is to do. So there you have it, I present you Plot 195B:.

Plot 195B: First planting
http://plot195b.blogspot.com/2010/04/first-planting.html
Wednesday, 7 April 2010. I have finally planted something on the allotment! I have been a few more times since my last post, including twice during the Easter weekend. I mostly did more weeding then. In the forefront are the cabbage. Being rather partial to anything from the cabbage family. So it's not looking like the photo anymore, as I came back in the afternoon with some netting and poles to protect them. We'll see how that goes. While I was planting I suddenly heard "quack quack quack quack"! Not th...

Plot 195B: 22 March
http://plot195b.blogspot.com/2010/03/22-march.html
Monday, 22 March 2010. I went to continue the weeding this morning, but I have no photo to accompany this post as I had to leave in a hurry. I did however measure the plot (pretty much exactly 8x5) and the glasshouse, so I am going to be able to start planning properly. I had a few nice surprises:. Someone had left me some cabbage seedlings. Don't know who, there was no note. 2 strawberry plants, not much but it's a start :). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. I got an allotmen...
