Alloment goes on

Allotment latest: a little bit of weeding [of grass shoots] and watering/general maintenance-ie. turning the earth over and mixing in manure; making sure that any damaged or unhealthy growth was removed.

today tuesday  21 february .

 This morning I was in the allotment group.        Sue F. and Vicky supported us . We walked to Tesco because we wanted to see how onions bulbs looked liked . We went for an early lunch to Burger King in the Surrey Quays  shopping centre.  I had a burger and chips and a cup of tea.   After lunch we came back to Bede.  

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.
