Welcome to my little suburban oasis, filled with flowers,fruit trees and vegetables. Tuesday, 30 June 2015.

There's no ...

http://maryomsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/07/lavender-paths.html
Welcome to my little suburban oasis, filled with flowers,fruit trees and vegetables. Sunday, 12 July 2015. Another week or so passes and the colour of the path edging does too - the main path is bordered by various lavenders, now coming into flower. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Gathered up the small, unusable garlic cloves and planted them outside today. garlic needs a spell of cold weather to grow properly and, tho. Going out like a lion. Back from the holidays. It's not all peas and beans. I onc...

Maryom's Garden: Picked earlier this week
http://maryomsgarden.blogspot.com/2015/08/picked-earlier-this-week.html
Welcome to my little suburban oasis, filled with flowers,fruit trees and vegetables. Friday, 14 August 2015. Picked earlier this week. It's the time of year when every allotment trip sees us coming home laden down with lots and lots of veg. Courgettes, white radish, cucumber (first of the season). Huge box of onions as we decided to lift them all. Runner beans, peas and spinach. French beans and broccoli. A smallish cabbage,lifted before it burst. And a mix of blackberries and late raspberries. We seem i...

Rambling Mole: April 2012
http://ramblingmole.blogspot.com/2012_04_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 April 2012. Porch - more slow progress. Because of the weather I have not been able to get out much this week. We did go to B&Q and buy the window furniture for the porch (why is it called furniture please someone? I managed to get it all fitted without too much grief - much to my surprise. I had expected to have problems getting the latch pins in the right places but with care it all worked. Tuesday, 24 April 2012. Allotment before the rain comes. I slipped down there for an hour today before...

Rambling Mole: Allotment before the rain comes.
http://ramblingmole.blogspot.com/2012/04/allotment-before-rain-comes.html
Tuesday, 24 April 2012. Allotment before the rain comes. The forecast suggests that in the next five days we will get a month's rain. They don't seem to say what month though. August would be good! But I suspect not as it amounts to about 60mm or 2.3 inches in English. Having cut Granddad's grass today as well has planted his row of Alderman peas, I decided it was time to do mine. Apart from that I also managed to find time to pick our first radishes of the season. Now to hope the forecasters are wrong.

Rambling Mole: June 2012
http://ramblingmole.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 12 June 2012. Sunday afternoon we were offered another piece of allotment. Truth is we did ask and have been watching a few, but this is one we would rather it not have been. Why? So yesterday I took a couple of hours to make a start and get the weed cleared and some digging done. Unfortunately rain came in before I got very far but, leaving a path (a sort of zone to prevent disputes really) I started. and although I didn't get very far through the heap of weeds grew rapidly. I once read somewhe...

Rambling Mole: May 2011
http://ramblingmole.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Monday, 9 May 2011. I have been trying to concentrate on building a lean-to greenhouse for the allotment to go against the shed, the trouble is that with digging, planting and weed control there just aren't enough hours in the day! Because of this everything needs netting, which is a bit of a nuisance but occasionally we find pigeon feathers scattered around so we know that the resident fox family has been at work, although it may be the friendly buzzards. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Last week turned out...
