Went to the allotment over the weekend but didn't do much,by the time I got to the plot it was late on both days then it rained. I managed to move the rest of the gravel from bottom of the allotment to the top, still have a lot to pick up from a mates house to finish of the pond. I planted another row of beetroot don't know why because I will have to much on the first row,also planted some swede that i forgot to plant a few months ago.
I've took home a few little bits this week Which I am loving the taste of fresh veg, my chillies are growing i will have to find out how to dry them out and freeze them. I'm going to have to give a few things away already like the courgettes, only because one minute I have some small ones next they are about 8inches long and fat.
This is my blog all about my first allotment which i am trying to get up and running,i will post pictures and some writing about my time on the allotment.Well they may not be a lot of writing on the blog but i will post the pictures,we will see how it goes anyway.

Some growth in the greenhouse
Things are starting to come on inside the greenhouse some quicker than others, not really fussed if I get l them late as long as we get something.
Bit more to taste.
During the week I've been taking a few bits home, still plenty to come but it's all growing quite quickly. The cucumber and courgettes we can't eat them quick enough, so will have to give some away before the greenhouse is full of it.

Pictures of the little pond.
Just a couple of pics of the pond not a lot but looking better, we took up all the weeds up then put a cover over the soul then fill with gravel. Still have more gravel to put down and other things to make it look better,but will do that over the next few days I hope fingers crossed (should say weeks).
Few little tasks
While been at the allotment this week I've been doing some other jobs apart from weeding, well the ground is a little hard to do some weeding that's my excuse anyway. Three of the things I've tried to do is do some more around the pond(bath),make a path at the bottom of the allotment and the side of the allotment. All the jobs are work in progress and trying to fit it in between other things that need doing,also people have been on and started to pinch the timber we are using for the path so that needs to be finished.
It's been a while.
Wow it's been a week since my last post it's not for not wanting to post, just that I've been busy at work then trying to find time to go to the plot. Once I've got home all i seem to do is fall asleep while trying to update the blog,woke up plenty of times with phone in my hand.
