zico's mum Posted May 15, 2011 Report Share Posted May 15, 2011 Looking very good.You're very neat and tidy with all your work,some of the allotments near me are a right hodge-podge of plants - and what looks to me like rubbish too but you keep yours looking very good.

houndzrus Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 All planting out has now been done, so I hope I can keep on top of whatever pests /diseases come their way. Could do with a bit more rain to freshen things up , but apart from that, we're happy with the progress so far. "noo " pallett compost bin,wot Keith made. View up the allotment, tatties are growing fast! Home grown from seed, the "just transplanted" courgettes and moonbeam squash look a bit sorry for themselves. And finally, the view from the Shed, All Brassica beds planted up, Sweetcorn in their box to the right. Tiny beetroot beside them have been struggling to survive this week.

houndzrus Posted May 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 29, 2011 Thank you both I really hope the brassicas work out this year. They have been eaten by caterpillars, almost overnight for the last two years. I had (I thought) protected them well, but the little varmints were smarter than me!

Tisaann Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 Oh boy do I need to go to Specsavers. I looked at your picture first and then read the writing and thought 'so where is the yellow courgette then'? looked properly at the picture and saw that it was the non existent umbrella handle. Hey ho off to re-fill my wine glass lol. xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey ho off to re-fill my wine glass lol. xx :laugh: Well, it's just halfway through the year and now everything is growing at a pace. Turned out a bit hotter than we thought it would be yesterday, but got a lot done. Getting crops galore now, so it's a bit more rewarding, going home with a bag full of food. Here's the pics Cabbages in their raised bed Broccoli New hooped beds for Swedes and winter greens. (filling some of the space where the spuds came out.) Sweetcorn doing ok our hooped net beds are getting bigger! harvest time And finally, the view from the shed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
