Dave's Allotment: December 2005
http://davesallotment.blogspot.com/2005_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 21, 2005. Seed order for 2006. Here is my seed order for next year which I will shortly be placing with Marshalls. It comes to 50, which actually sounds quite a lot. But the amount of vegetables I'll grow from this will far outweight the cost of the seeds. Broad Beans (Aquadulce Claudia, Feligreen). Cabbage (Puma, Red Rookie). Carrots (Autumn King 2 Vita Longa, Sytan). Courgettes (Zucchini, Gold Rush, Clarita). Lettuce (Mixed Lollos, Salad Bowl). Parsnips (Tender and True).

Dave's Allotment: January 2006
http://davesallotment.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 18, 2006. Other than the areas where I still have things growing, the entire plot is now dug over - and many parts of it covered and manured. This is definitely the most organised the plot has ever been. The whole plot is pictured below left, and the Broad Beans under their cover of fleece are shown on the right. Posted by Dave at 1:55 PM. Monday, January 09, 2006. Onions, Potatoes, Shallots and digging. Posted by Dave at 1:09 PM. Wednesday, January 04, 2006. Posted by Dave at 10:58 AM.

Dave's Allotment: November 2005
http://davesallotment.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 28, 2005. This weekend I also pulled up a handfull of leeks and some more parsnips. Posted by Dave at 1:34 PM. Monday, November 21, 2005. It was a freezing morning with the frost still very much present when I arrived. The steam pouring off the manure was incredible - looked more like a bonfire than a pile of poo!

Dave's Allotment: August 2006
http://davesallotment.blogspot.com/2006_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 31, 2006. I also bagged up a load of weeds that I had been piling up and took them to the dump. There were also a couple of bags of junk to get rid of from the new plot that the previous owners had left behind. I then pruned out the raspberry canes that had fruited this year, and they went to the dump as well. They'd grown a bit too high to properly cover them in earth, but I raked up the soil around them as best I could (see before and after above). Posted by Dave at 1:54 PM. A few week...

Pushing up the daisies. An Aussie stranded in France tries her hand at an allotment - can she grow those parsnips, or die trying? Monday, February 26, 2007. Decided to make a separate post for my seedlings! So I can take some photos and add them. They are all sprouting! I am so pleased! Posted by antipodesgirl @ 10:50 AM 0 Comments. Saturday was a soggy mess, rain most of the day so I only went to the lottie on Sunday morning. I was the only person there! Anyway, my garlic is shooting! I am so pleased!

Pushing up the daisies: UPDATE From February 24

Pushing up the daisies. An Aussie stranded in France tries her hand at an allotment - can she grow those parsnips, or die trying? Sunday, March 30, 2014. UPDATE From February 24. This is an entry that I wrote but did not get around to posting! It is still too cool and wet to think about much else but I am already looking at the pea bed menacingly. I chucked a few broad bean seeds in a couple of weeks ago to see what would happen - to my surprise, 8 plants are already growing! Subscribe to Posts [ Atom.

Pushing up the daisies: June 2006

Pushing up the daisies. An Aussie stranded in France tries her hand at an allotment - can she grow those parsnips, or die trying? Thursday, June 22, 2006. But some of us are an exception to the rule. After 12 years of living in France, I can now eat a variety of runny smelly dairy products that no self-respecting Australian would normally think could come out of an udder. Will I actually get anything to grow? Will I hack off my toes in an unfortunate hoeing incident? Only time will tell. Wolf at the Door...

Pushing up the daisies. An Aussie stranded in France tries her hand at an allotment - can she grow those parsnips, or die trying? Tuesday, May 27, 2014. The summer planting is finally done. This weekend, I managed to get a good bit of work done, it was rather satisfying! As for harvesting, we ate - loads of rhubarb again, about 400g strawberries (despite the wet weather), a small bag full of baby leaves, a few broad beans (that unfortunately got burned in the saucepan by the family on Mother's Day! Livin...
