I am so happy.....

With how quickly jim is transforming my allotment.

We reckon three hours this week and it will be all square, level and dug.

Next weekend I hope to be doing some planting and having a tidy up.

Now it is all going to happen!

I am paying my mate Jim to do up to twelve hours manual work on my plot! He is making the path, doing the edges and turning over all the plot including the turning of the two big extensions to the end of the plot.

In a short time he has done miles more than I would have ever achieved and, as he has years of experience, wil do a much better job!

On Sunday I managed to level a patch and planted

White onions
Spanish onions
Spring onions
Broad beans
Peas.

I am so excited as once the digging has been done there willbe no stoping me!

Not today!

I got struck down with a migraine last night and have felt shocking all day so there was no allotment work.

Still it has rained some more so hopefully next weekend, though I do feel as though a cold maybe about to start.

Digging for gold!

Well I managed to last justover three hours!

One half of the extended bit was dug, grass removed and broken down.

The other half of the path, well I only dug half of it and is the first rough dig.

I feel a bit stiff but hope to finish the second half and get my winter onions and shallots!

I also show my two cabbages that I hope to enter in the winter show!

Allotment update

Well this weekend I managed to get a small area ready to plant some winter onions and shallots.

I used the area that my potatoes had been in as the ground was loose and just needed the top breaking down.

I was delighted to see that it rained in the night and I hope that we get some more so that this weekend I can get digging.

I am also excited as I may have two cabbages ready to enter in the winter show!
