Stick day

We made climbing frames for the peas to grow up. Harriet and Sue showed us how. Because it's  autumn there were lots of leaves on the ground. We picked  them up, then did a little weeding.

Goodbye to Lou Farrow's

We did weeding at the allotment today and planted garlic in the ground. Lou Farrow's, the café that we often go to on a Tuesday was still closed, so we went to the Pop Inn again for lunch. Chantelle found out that Lou Farrow's is turning into a restaurant. That's a pity, because it was my favourite spot to have lunch...always!    

Picking squash and plantng garlic

We took our squash out today. We planted cloves of garlic. Over winter it will grow into bulbs. We also did some weeding and then put some manure down and turned the soil over to work the manure in. Lou Farrow's, the café I wanted to go was closed today. This is most unusual. Normally it's open. We had to go the Pop Inn instead.

 

Planting in the rain

I planted red runner beans this morning. I didn't need to water them because it already rained this morning. We went to the Pop Inn for lunch. I'm glad we got to out today despite the rain!

Washed out...

 It's been two weeks since I've been to the allotment. Last Tuesday it was impossible to do anything because of heavy rain. Anyway, that meant that a little bit of weeding was needed today.    

 

Early days...

my plan for next year

it was raining today so we did not go outside. so we read about what we could plant for next year.
we looked through a book of herbs, I decided that I want a mixture to make a herb garden.

Harvest Festival

It's autumn now and tomorrow we're showing off the things that we grew in the allotment, so the public can come and see it. I harvested  my onions, my radishes and my squash, and I will put them on display. I'm a little bit nervous, but I am also excited.
