Well best laid plans always come a cropper. I have had to deal with a very serious accident at work, and had two courses to attend to. but things are moving slowly. My late broad beans are coming along, and all potatoes are now showing through, except the pink fir apples which I was giving last week by a neighbour. I have sown a variety of carrots, including purple haze, and yellow variety, along with Nantes and Samurai. Radishes and green beans are in place, as is the Alderman peas and Lady Di runnerbeans. My shallot and onions are coming on fine, though behind other plot holders around me, but are catching up quickly in the warm spring tempertures. Plot 49 has had the top 1/4 covered to kill off the couch grass and weeds so will become easier to start to dig through.
I have got to make room for butternut squashes and courgettes soon! more digging required..lol
Happy Mayday as well.
Hi,
I’ve been looking at your blog and find the work you are doing really interesting. It’s so refreshing to find someone so impassioned about the great outdoors and returning to the earth.
We were wondering if you would like to see an exclusive screening of a new British film called Grow Your Own. It features people who love their allotments and who have an equal amount of love for gardening. You’ll even get a free gift when you come to the exclusive private screening - you’ll be one of the first to see it. The preview is due to be screened on Monday 11th June at 6.00pm for the showing to commence at 6.30pm. It’s not due for general release until Release date: 15th June 2007.
Please feel free to take a look at the website-http://www.growyourownthemovie.co.uk/ there is also a trailer you could take a look at - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Iz6NH7tnXk
If you are at all interested please give me an email and I will confirm the details with you.
