Our New Allotment

[Nik195]

Ok so Friday 26th was D day for the allotment.

In them middle of the morning in the hail and rain, there was me and Phil digging over our allotment - yes I know we are totally MAD !!!!!

We took quite a few pics and I will attach one or two here for you to see.

Tomorrow morning we pick up our Greenhouse and then the fun and games begin......

Mad? No..... it's like being a kid at Christmas with all the possibilities rolling out in front of you
Good luck and get something in the ground quick so you can measure it every time you go hehe.

Well done on getting one. It looks in pretty good order. What is growing there already?

[Nik195]

The only thing growing at, the moment.is weeds lol

Planted potatoes, peas, runner beans and broad beams

They say if the soil grows good weeds it will grow good veggies.

Well I truly am like a kid at Christmas - up early and raring to go but just how much that has to so with my chest infection keeping me awake most of the night or our 14 week old puppy screaming at 6am I have no idea lol.

Will be going to get our greenhouse this morning and that part is making me like a kid with a new toy Lololololololol. Just got to make the space it's going in suitable but there I have a plan lol. I will dig part of it for growing toms etc and wrap the rest in either cardboard or weed plastic to stop and kill the rest. Then I can put my tubs on that bit. Probably wont work like that but heyho lol

Made up for you guys. Your lucky too because with the late start to the warmer weather you are not behind with anything so just go for it and fingers crossed you get a first year bumper crop.

Watch out for those runner beans. They are very tender. I am further south than you and won't be putting mine out until end May at the ealiest. If the frost doesn't kill them they might just go into decline, sulk and never recover.
Enjoy your plot.

Ok update. We picked up our greenhouse and with the help of some kind people on site we have the frame almost done. However on the journey. From one home to another every single pane of glass is. Broken.

We are rather annoyed but. Oh well never. Mind. Plastic. Covering here we come for a while lol
