Bede Christmas Fair

As the Bede Christmas Fair is tomorrow, we need to finish our wreaths. We can take them home (for a small fee), or alternatively, let them be sold.        It should be an enjoyable day tomorrow, with many different things happening to raise money.               

Bede Christmas Fair

No allotment today as the weather was too miserable. We spent the morning sorting through all the bits and pieces that we have, so we will know what we need for the design and making of the Christmas wreaths. Once we know that, then Sarah can go shopping and get what we need. The wreaths will be sold at the Bede Christmas Fair!           

Broad beans

Allotment today...basic tidying up required, but it   has to be done. We transferred our broad bean   plants from their pots to their growing bed  positions. A small frame is in place for each to support them, with netting over them to protect them from squirrels, etc.         

Garlic

Today in the allotment we planted our garlic cloves, in the pre prepared growing beds. These will over Winter and probably be ready to harvest in about 8-9 months.

Garlic is one of the most reliable vegetables to grow, as the results of the last few years suggest.

I will probably go and see a firework display this evening...Burgess Park is the nearest to me.



        

Harvest Show

Last week it was the Bede Harvest Show. I was really pleased to win third prize for my display, ie. shallots, garlic and potatoes. I'm looking forward to combinining them into my forthcomimg meals.

I'm still excited  about my electric toothbush...the best thing that I've bought for ages.           
             

Harvest Show

An allotment update: tomorrow is the Harvest  Show at Bede. We have an impressive array of vegetables. I'm really happy with my potatoes, shallots and garlic. However, Mophido's giant pumpkin is amazing.              

The dentist...

Last week I could'nt get to the allotment, as I had to go to the dentist and have my teeth cleaned. I  know this all seems very trivial, but...I also got a new electric (cordless) toothbrush! There is an open talent contest at St Peters (Walworth), on Saturday12-Oct, which should both be entertaining and a laugh: entry free!
