I say sort of we have had the allotment now for about 2months so I think we are probably still green but toes getting wet gradually!
we inherted some very sad looking cabbage and leeks that were drowning in weeds poor things but weve cleared/dug/dug/dug/dug/dug and nurtured them back to life, we are even planning on eating one of the cabbages this weekend as all newbies we were incredibly keen to get some stuff in to call our very own and have been eating rocket till it comes out of our ears I just love it, weve done onions all looking good and parsnips that we thought we would suck it and see as we really wanted something on the christmas table from the allotment, about 10 have germinated so fingers crossed, weve also done garlic but I think we were a bit previous and stupidly planted a supermarket one, so far one has come up, ive been thinking of pulling the rest up and putting in proper ones what do you thing?? spring onions havent started to show yet its been about 3 weeks, should I give up on those.
Im so jelous of all the surrounding plots as they have been harvesting all manner of things and so I cant wait until that is us next year.
We are just about to plant out peas this weekend as they have all germinated nicely, were also filling a lovely trench up with household peelings etc in readiness for runner beans.
I just wanted people to know ...im excited.... I never thought I could get so enthusiastic about something but heck I can!
love reading all the posts.
