It's Been a while

It's a while since my last post couldn't do much on the plot due to the weather ,also I've been a bit under the weather so not done a lot at all. Think we had a good few days a week or so back in between the rain and snow,would of been good to get some little bits done but not late now. Anyway onwards and forwards we must make a start for this veg feast of growing, I've gone through all my seeds and sorted them out on what to plant each month. On the pack instruction it says plant from this date forward,but that depends which part of the country you are in South seems to plant early and north a little later. I cant wait to get started and reaping the rewards later on in the year,going to try and grow a little more than last year but saying that i said the same last year.

Do I or don't I

I managed to gain another bath for the allotment but don't know what to do as of yet, I either make another pond or a big bird bath or give it away.

Quick plot shot

Just a quick photo of my plot from bottom and top, just a little weeding left to and then sorted. Whoop whoop .

Compost

I've moved my compost from
One side to the other,I didn't think it was working but it's looking quite good. I still have a little bit to add to it but may start a fresh batch for next year,still have half a bag from last year to use.

Few free flowers I think

As I was taking the dog for a walk along normal route past some shop back yards, I noticed some flower that had been in pots but thrown over the fence. It looked like the shop was trying to get rid of them through the fencing, so I picked some of them up and took to the allotment and potted in some pots. I don't know what the plants are but couldn't let them go to waste,if the shops don't want them they should just give them away.

Last of the carrots

Well that's all my carrots took up now till I grow a few more, I did have a better year so hoping next one will be as good as this one. Some of the carrots had been eaten by the slugs and had big holes all over them,one of them looked real big and i was chuffed till I turned it over and it had been eaten.

I also took up a few more leeks which had growing slowly in the corner,I have about 6 leeks left to pick which I will pick this week. I will have to make sure I give the leeks deeper holes to grow in and wider,the leeks was nice but not very thick.

Happy New Year.

Happy New Year to you all hope you had a good one,hope we have a good growing season this year. I'm going to try a few new thing so fingers crossed it goes ok,if not i won't try it again.
