Our allotment

Sometimes my little haven for peace & quiet where I love to grow things I can share with my family & friends.

How proud am I

I've got parsnips

They aren't that big like I said baby ones but they smell most delicious shame I wasn't having them tonight. I just had to dig some up just to see how they were doing.


Picked some leeks while I was there and brocolli too. Yes the brocolli is still shooting for me even though the birds have started eating the leaves.

This afternoon when I decided to pop to the allotment for a look and pick some veg I just got out the front door after collecting my gloves and boots when it started to rain. By the time I got to the allotment the heavens opened and it fell down. Great! I thought and sat and waiting for it to pass. It slowed down alot so we made down to out plot. Muddy was an understatment and the cardboard was slippy I nearly went over at one point.

Broad beans have started showing and I moved the clothe from the carrotts so they have some rain and covered with the fleece instead. The savoy cabbage aren't that big next year i'll have to get them in earlier I think so we will be having baby savoy on Christmas day. The spring cabbage look ok. All the onions and garlic are doing well. I forgot the camera lucky really as it was raining so if I get down there again tomorrow i'll try and get some pics.
