We Grow Our OwnThe trials and successes of life on our allotment

What a fantastic weekend. Sunny skies all the way through, and I ended up with red arms!

We spent all of Saturday building frames for the beans and peas to climb up, and then we planted the “Hugh’s Huge” peas and “Crimson Flowered” broad beans. I have a load more of both, together with runner and french beans coming up in the greenhouse.

We were also frantically trying to clear the overgrown bit on the right hand side of the lottie, as we have 42 sweetcorn plants (they all germinated!!), and several other things in the greenhouse that will need a new home at some point. Luckily, one of our friends there has a petrol rotavator/tiller that made the job a lot easier.

I’ll try and take some pictures tomorrow night when I go down to water.

Hope you all had the chance to enjoy the glorious weather this weekend.
