Allotment Adventures: September 2008
http://bowensallotment.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 1 September 2008. Yesterday we spent a bit of time up on the allotment doing odds and sods. I put a cabin hook on the shed door and the side of the shed so it can be held open without banging in the breeze. Previous attempts to do this with hooks and pieces of string had been spectacularly ineffective. This was my first trial with my new cordless drill, and it proved its worth.

Allotment Adventures: March 2009
http://bowensallotment.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Thursday, 12 March 2009. Last weekend saw us pay a flying visit to the allotment to kickstart the annual sowing/planting/whatever cycle. It was a flying visit because although it was a miserable day to start with, it got rapidly miserable-r and wetter while we were onsite. Undaunted, we planted three rows of garlic cloves in the non-pooh-treated root section of the plot. She also got a couple of rhubarb plants at a local garden centre, and these are now safely ensconced at the top of the plot.

Allotment Adventures: Potentially perfect potato patch preparation
http://bowensallotment.blogspot.com/2009/01/potentially-perfect-potato-patch.html
Saturday, 31 January 2009. Potentially perfect potato patch preparation. It was flippin' cold this afternoon, but clear, so we decided we should make the best of the opportunity to dig some dirt, and headed off. Amanda and Abi have also hung a bird feeder from the shed roof, to encourage the wildlife a bit. We've started seeing one of the local cats on our plot regularly when we go up there, and he seems to think that having more birds about would be a splendid idea. Is this your ultimate goal?

Thursday, 26 February 2009. Today's blog blathering features a special guest appearance from:. Impending sense of tension and excitement). What could it be? What could it be? What, was that it?

Allotment Adventures: May 2008
http://bowensallotment.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, 29 May 2008. Five rods is plenty. Had to look that up too, I think the RHS will prove to be essential! It has probably been about 2 years since the plot has been worked. So this is what the plot currently looks like. It's 10 rods. I had to look this up. The Royal Horticultural Society are very helpful on such matters and provided the following information:. Plot sizes are measured in rods, an old Anglo-Saxon unit so-called because it was the length of the rod used to control a team of eight oxen.
