Our allotment

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

Grass no more.

Well after my Husbands hard work this weekend this plot does not look like this anymore. We brought a new rotovator this week. Not a brand new one of course, new to us. It worked brilliantly much better than our old one. This whole plot has been turned over ready to be done again later in the year. At first I thought we may have snow this weekend as we did on Thursday 8th Feb but it was gone by Saturday and the sun was out in the afternoon. After coming home from a course we both nipped up to the allotment on Saturday and rotivated our old plot and we was done in an hour. Sunday Hubby felt in the mood to do our new plot, (who was I to stop him). It was very muddy and as soon as we got to the allotment our middle son fell over onto a prickle, (not a good start). After a cup of tea and a little sit down he was fine and went off with the hammer to hammer whatever he could find to hit. I planted out 18 cauliflowers seedlings hoping that the ground isn't too wet but I was finding it hard to look after them at home in the tray. They were used to the elements of the weather as they got covered in snow the other day. Also I get itchy and have to be planting something.


Weekend before the chickens got upgraded to a new house a little studio apartment so we was busy all Sunday doing that. Here it is.

Can fit in a couple more chooks now would like to get them soon. Summer time I want to repaint it and make a little wooden fence around it will give it a nice country feel.
Sowed some tomatoes, aubergines, strawberrys, greyhound & red cabbage, leeks & chillis the other weeks. Peas are coming along and just showing.
Hopefully i'll get some pictures next weekend of the rotivated plot & bits and pieces as this weekend I forgot the camera.
