Our allotment

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

News Update.......Where's the hot house??

Went to the allotment on Sunday to plant some raspberry canes I had given to me. Hubby went into the allotments first so when he said "I can't see the hot house" I thought he was joking. Then I looked and it had been blown away, lucky for us not onto someones plot or they might of been a bit peed off. The poles are bent and some snapped. The plastic may have a couple of holes too but nothing gaffa tape won't sort out i'm sure. Been thinking of new ways to build a frame to use the cover. Have decided to make a wooden one and some plumbers blue tubing for the roof. Thats our project over Easter now.

Sowed to types of parsnips while I was there, hollow crown and tender & true. Hoping that some come true or no parnips for us next year.


Transplanted my peas and covered with some mesh. Bet the slugs get them instead. Only trouble is they have taken up more room than thought so may have to squash them up a bit as I have a second sowing just starting to show.
