yep that anwsers the reason for your absence
I love this time of year when you can just walk up to your allotment and see the fruits of your labour - well done mate, I second that some photos would be nice. here is a
link to mine bit too big to put up here.
I am gald to hear that I am not the only one who will have a lot less growing in the winter months although the leeks will keep you going
how many
actually now that I have read through your list again it seems like I am the only one without winter crops. My 6 struggling purple sprouting broccoli are no match. - what are radar onions???
I am going to plant some green manure this year at the end of the season I think, seems to be a cheaper way to get some nutrients back in the soil. Are you going to dig anything into your mate?
hi all,so i have now had me allotment just over a year what a tranformation.my first and 2nd earlies did ok did not get tons off each plant but nice spuds maincrop one are doing well even with the dry conditions but the rain we had sat did alot of good i have been cropping my runner and french beans for about 2 weeks,have eaten loads and blanched and freezed some.we had a bit of thieving but not too much, i think if you keep cropping and visiting daily your less of a target. if your stuff is left and growing big then its too much of a temptation to some,since lat thursday i have harveated a dozen good size marrows which have gone to a pensioner lady who will make piccalili and give me a good supply, ihave had mountains of courgettes and alot of people of benefitted. ihave got tundra cabbage growing and about 160 leekd. 3 rows beetroot onions two rows french beans corriander parsnip pumpkins, butternut squash.raddishes carrots etc,it has been well worth the effort,must catch up with decorating in the autum.have odrered an over wintering shallot, garlic.radar onions ,and aquadulce broadbens, have sown some spring cabbage if they domt do well will have to get some via one of the seed compamys which do plants if you know one put the link all the best and hope your all well.
- you are too busy! I was wondering what you were going to do with all those courgettes!!
