Week 2

The mood on the new allotment site is still one of giggly excitment and everyone is friendly and supportive.
Planted this week:



4 Strawberry plants

Peas-Hurst Green shaft

Dwarf Beans -Ferrari

Spinach

Broccoli -Purple sprouting and calabrase

Radish-Sparkler

Activities: Netted all veg against rabbits and pigeons They have eaten all the replanted (wrong distance apart) sprouts and kale - may have rescued kale.


Weeds growing well, lots of hoeing.


Went to Allotment Society meeting - a bit boring, though I now know about: the shed and water supply situation; rabbit plague; permaculture site - still not sure what that is, etc.

Peas and beans shooting - hurray!

Weather - Rain and sun, but mainly rain.

Harvested: I strawberry



Quote of the week: 'Hey up, see whats landed!'

Said when by fellow lotti when someone else moved their own shed on to an allotment. Sheds are supposed to be of an agreed type and all the same - to save the place from looking like a shanty town; but the official sheds have not arrived yet and understandably someone has made an executive decision and planted their own shed.

News

  • Have a partner on the allotment - Hubby - great digger.
  • After a long search and much pestering I have been offered a continuous supply of manure, I have won the lottery!
