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

… everything seems to be growing so far after the frost last week.

I was a little concerned because when I came down to water one day, the plastic on my spray gun had cracked where water had obviously expanded, so I was more than a little concerned for my poor little veggies.

However, I got a nice surprise this weekend, when after weeding, I noticed that all my spuds were up, even the first earlies, which I had written off.

The lottie could do with a little more rain, but then again, so could everyone else’s!

The next big project, along with clearing the rest of the ground, potting on veg, sowing more seeds, etc …, is to block up where the gate to our allotment is now, and make a new opening on the right hand side. It doesn’t really make much sense where it is now, and if we move it, we can have access straight off the car park.

I’m just wondering when we are going to have time to do everything!
