me and my allotment . com: Getting diggy with it

http://www.meandmyallotment.com/2013/03/getting-diggy-with-it.html

Me and my allotment . com. Sunday, 3 March 2013. Getting diggy with it. Or trying to. Had a bad back since a sledging injury in February. Boo to no gardening since then, but I can highly recommend diclofenac! It took me 1½ hours to dig out about 1½m² of the bed booked for Older’s sweetcorn. Even I can do the maths for that and am finding the rate of progress somewhat worrying. I agree that if a job’s worth doing, it’s worth doing well. There be mangroves growing in that there bed! His compost’s als...

Ali's Allotment Plots: 01/10/11 - 01/11/11

http://alithefrog.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html

My bloggings of plot 144. Sunday, 30 October 2011. I was on Allotment Trading Hut duties today. It was a very quiet time, so I took my Crochet along to help pass the time (see my other blog www.macscrochet.blogspot.com. Which it did indeed do - help to pass that time that is, as well as listening to the old boys chattering away about their war days! On the way back home I have to walk past my plot. I had to pick up a savoy cabbage and I only had my Crochet bag with me, so they had to share. Today I trans...

Ali's Allotment Plots: 01/03/12 - 01/04/12

http://alithefrog.blogspot.com/2012_03_01_archive.html

My bloggings of plot 144. Thursday, 29 March 2012. As I had some Pentland Javelin "chitting" in my utility room and these are 1st Earlies, so as they can be dug up in July I decided to pop them in! Here are my tools of the trade. I put in my line so I would put them in straight. And here's my bulb planter. In it goes and fingers crossed for July. I did put in a row of peas alongside too but I forgot to take photo's! Posted by Ali Campbell. Links to this post. Wednesday, 28 March 2012. Last but not least ...

My bloggings of plot 144. Sunday, 27 May 2012. Plot 144 - The End! This is a very sad blog post to have to write. Due to my move to Dorset soon, my plot, sadly has to go and I have already given written notice to the council, that it will be available from June 7th. I have been visiting the site most mornings, at around 6am for an hour each time, to clear the Shed and the Greenhouse, which are both now sold to a fellow allotmenteer who has a plot at the other end of the site. Sorry there are no pictures ...

My bloggings of plot 144. Sunday, 26 December 2010. Snow, snow and more snow. I am so glad I dug up my parsnips when I did! Posted by Ali Campbell. Links to this post. Thursday, 16 December 2010. Yes, I braved it back to the allotment plot 144 and dug up a few parsnips for Christmas Day. As advised by the kind lady from Green Lane Allotments, as long as I left them muddy they will store well, so I have put them in this old mushroom crate and into the store room by the garage.

Plot 66: Foreign Seeds for 2014

http://plot66.blogspot.com/2014/01/foreign-seeds-for-2014.html

Home brewing antics can now be found at my other blog;. Http:/ gettinggrist.blogspot.com. Wednesday, 15 January 2014. Foreign Seeds for 2014. It's rather sad of me I know, but when I'm away on vacation with the family I always make time to peruse the seeds on offer in the French shops, to bring back something different for the following growing year. Last summer I purchased these;. Even my basic French can see that the carrots are a Nantes 2 variety. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Don't Lose The Plot.

Helmsley Walled Garden, view from the perennial meadow.

Gwenfar's Garden and other musings. Notes on developing my garden and musings on other matters that interest me. Wednesday, 21 January 2015. Plants for boggy shade. Series 2 of Great British Garden Revival. Has had many enjoyable episodes, and for me, the most inspiring was the one on last night (21st January) with Joe Swift encouraging us to include a Bog Garden in our gardens. By accident I've ended up with a boggy area in my garden, which I've mentioned in May 2014. I recommend them to you. Plant sugg...
