Leaves ?

Ongoing from the allotment: ok, it's quiet, but  look it is winter! We can't do much and (as said  before) we don't really need to. All we did was gather up fallen leaves...and then off to the cafe.          

Checking at the allotment...

In the allotment today we just quickly checked that there were no problems: everything was fine nothing to worry about. For lunch we went to the Starbucks Cafe nearby and I had burger and chips!    

Beans.

At the allotment today we sowed the seeds for the broad beans. We will put a frame in (to trail them on) when they develop longer shoots.They will be ready to harvest sometime between June and September. You have to be patient. 

Grow stuff

Continuing from last week: there is very little to do, which is good, but frustrating. However, we have potatoes indoors starting off, which we will transfer to the allotment later.

Allotment today: we didn't do very much, but this only reflects the fact that we are well organised and have a routine that works! I do enjoy the time I spend there, I'm looking forward to harvesting more plants as soon as we can. 

Allotment latest

 It was a quiet day at the allotment. We more or less just checked that all the vegetables were ok. Currently we have broad beans, onions, radishes, rhubarb and garlic planted (and kidney beans). The're all doing really well!

Christmas

Had a nice Christmas with the family.We ate about 5pm and afterwards everyone came together to exchange gifts. I got a lot of of clothes, a watch and a phone. Really good food, great company- had a joyful time. Thanks everyone!
