Christmas Prezzies!

Andy and I got these allotment books from his parents, lots of bedtime reading for us :) Should be very helpful in planning what to grow etc

Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas one and all!

The weather, how in considerate

A is right, the weather is a pain. How inconsiderate of winter to arrive early! I went up to the allotment early yesterday to carry on digging for Britain (our corner of it anyway) but the frost prevented me from getting very far in the hour I had.

All the same I managed to finish the second plot... nearly, just one little corner to go. Please Mr weather man be wrong so we can go dig on Saturday!

Will the Weather Stop Us

With lots of planed work for the Xmas break only wether or illness really stands in the way of us making a serious dent in the clearing of the allotment ready for the growing season
That said the wether reports are a tad worring as snow seems iminant which would really slow us down, as i don't fancy to much digging in the snow, we'd have to move snow first!!
well God willing we'll hopeful get a bit done over the break and we'll keep you all upto date with the progress

Todlepip for now

Digging Treasures

Whilst digging the new allotment we have been finding veggy treasures left by the previous occupant, those digging have been taking home these for use so that they are not wasted. i wonder what we'll find next? so far k, p and a have found celeriac, beetroot and parsnips, oh and some parsley  which i have hung in the shed to dry
toodlepip for now xx
