Allotment meeting

[Snadger]

In an effort to be part of the allotment community on my new site I attended a general meeting held in the rain!
It was interesting to see how others did it without the rules and regulations that were imposed on us at my other site.
I think I may fit in well.

While I was there I gathered another three courgettes and swapped one of my green ones for a yellow one with another plot holder.
From two plants I must have had about 30 courgettes up until now

Now I have finally hung up my old work boots I can enjoy my retirement. I am looking forward to getting stuck into my new plot.
I need to procure my Japanese autumn planted onion sets and get them in. While at the GC the other day there were plenty of winter brassicas (albeit at a price) and of course broadies will go in November. Hopefully there will be no bare areas on the plot over winter and it will be fruitful Spring/Summer.

Enjoy your retirement.

We have rules on our site? WOW! What are they and how many have I broken?

I kept them to myself in case anyone tried to hold me to them!

[SarrissUK]

Are you two on the same allotment?? LOL

[Jay-ell]

Yes - I got the plot from off the vine.

[Thelma Sanders]

Enjoy your retirement.

Same from me Snadger

Or lost the plot altogether once you joined? lol

Wonder if the Secretary has any idea what they are?

Thanks VC but I have time on my hands now to visit a favourite GC and buy some onion sets. I prefer buying them loose by weight and it works out very cheap compared to the blister packs. I also use the same GC every year so can vouch for the quality.

Sounds like you are going to enjoy your retirement Snadge!

That's the plan Nicos. Its just a new stage in my life and I am determined to embrace and enjoy it.

Gong to pop down the plot soon and dig a couple of rows to see what the soil is like. Little and often should produce results.

I only intend digging it once and shall then adopt a no dig policy which has worked for me in the past.

[Jay-ell]

Hoy some charlottes in - you might get a crop before the frost hits and you know you want an excessive number of potatoes growing

Hope you finally enjoy your retirement Snadger

Best wishes from me for a jolly retirement and a fruitful plot.
