We took on a 2nd plot this week. It wasnt too bad. A woman had it for about 1 week before she had to give it up. Her father died and she said it was only for him. Its a shame realy.

Here are a few pics. See what you think.

Tomato box update

Hi all,
Just to tell you all that I put my tomato's into the box's that I made in my small greenhouse on Sunday. They are taking very well to. They are now 2 hands high. One also has 1 little flower on it.
Good a.
I will take a photo next Sunday and you can take a look.

Update 22-4-07

Hi,
went to allotment today and put in my tomato's in the small greenhouse into the new box bed that I made. I got 14 plants in with loads of space in between each one.
They look great, healthy too. I will take a photo next time I am up there and then you can see what I mean.

Tomato box.

Hi, today I went to my allotment carrying 3 bits of wood, very big bits of wood.
The bus driver would not let me on the bus so I asked a friend to drop me off at the allotment instead. He did.
It took me around 1 hour to put the box together in side my small greenhouse.
All I have to do now is fill it with compost that I made last year and a little bit of hard sand and small stones for drainage, then I can put in my tomato's. I will be able to get between 18 to 20 plants in it.
We eat a lot of tomato's. I have 37 plants out of 40 seeds put in. Not bad ah.

Update 14-4-07.

Hi all, here are the photos I said I would take to let you all see how things are getting on. I have onions and garlic in. Peas and spuds in. Broad beans and Beetroot in.

Doing well I think.

Hi

I hope you all like my new blog layout. I like it a lot better now.

Update.

I will be taking some photo's on Sunday and then you can all see what has been happening since the last time I put the photo's on.

UPDATE 13-4-07

I have at last remembered my login details.

I have at last finished all of my rasied beds and they are all up and runing.

The purple sprouting that I planted last year, we are eating now. Its wonderfull. But it takes 1 year to grow. A very long time to wait for it. I dont know if I will be putting it in again this year.

Here is a photo of the purple sprouting, see what you think.

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a lovly xmas.
Sorry I have not posted in a long time.

I put in my spinich,spring onions and some broad beans in my greenhouse last Sunday.
I'll tell you why!
I watched this woman on TV last Friday and she was putting in hers. She said she does it every year at this time and then lets them grow in the greenhouse untill its time to put them out and she always gets a great crop of veg.
So I thought I would give it a go and see what happens.
Does anyone do that?
I cant wait to see what happens. I will post pic's and let you all see what it turns out like.

Update/3-1-2007

Hi, I went to my allotment on Sunday to see if all was ok. It wasn't. Someone had stolen one of my pieces of glass out of my greenhouse, or so I thought when I saw it. I went back today as all I had over the place where the glass was, was a peice of black bag linning. I found the glass it was on the floor at the back of the greenhouse it must have been the bad winds we have had lately. Must have blown it out. How I dont no. I had to put a piece of hard plastic over the gap to stop the cold wind killing my veg I am growing in there. It will have to do untill I can get another piece of glass fitted.

xmas

Just to say Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to every one.
