Managed to get away with the frosts and they seem not to be too bad at the moment.Saying that though had a bit of a frost 3 nights ago and everything seems to have come through unscathed thus far. My Neighbours Beans got hit by the frost though as his are younger than mine.

Overview of the allotment http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l235/paddy047/Allotment/th_DSC_0028.jpg [/URL] A lot of this has been dug over since October, it was waist high in weeds and couch grass. http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l235/paddy047/Allotment/th_DSC_0034.jpg Above is the tats. Two types...

football, whats that? When I got married football went out of the window on mutual agreement. I lost interest because of unrealistic amounts of money being used in the game and well the wife is a woman!!!! (well at least i hope she is, no Hayley Cropper revelations yet). Will get some pics of the wo...

in particular to Pheasant, the car which hit it can not claim it as it is classed as poaching, the car behind can claim it.
2 car tandem was often played by my father and Uncle in the backroads of Herefordshire and Worcestershire as a child.

The plot I have is similiar in setup to that of Mouse with grass paths between each plot so the strimmer would be better for keeping the grass down as it is not wide enough for the lawnmower.

Thanks for the Advice and encouragement. I will go with the slow methodical approach of trench digging and slave labour of my Children. My Uncle who has also been growing on allotments suggested to leave the digging until January, and to then clear the "dead" bracken/weeds away after cover...

OB,
Thanks for the reply i have managed to get hold of a used STIHL FS106 for £40. My good wife shall be picking it up on Sunday for me.

Then i can hit the ground shredding and hopefully make an Impact, see if it is any good.

Thanks
Ian

Alan that would be about right actually i did chit them and put them into barrels last year mid March.

Thanks for the reminder otherwise the seed potatoes i have purchased and awaiting delivery would be for nowt.

Ok i managed to get an allotment from my Local council after waiting 2 years. It is on new reclaimed land that the council has made available for allotment use. They added approx 4Te of Mulch to the 5 Plots which have been made and rotavated which was then left for approx 6-7months. Bind weed, crouc...

I'm a bit touchy on this one as i take my 7 and 3 year old daughters with me to the Allotment, put in mind they are usually watched over pretty closely and enjoy digging and watching the plants(mainly weeds as it is a brand new reclaimed plot) mature. I dug the trenches they pulled the weeds out and...

I grew some potatos in a couple of potato barrels this year and they came out really well. The barrels were approx 4'high by 2' wide and were earthed up as they grew.

Hurrah, at last I have an Allotment. The Council sent me a letter out asking if i was still interested in an Allotment and have been diggin it over since Friday 13th November (ominous date). Will just turn the soil over and get the worst of the weeds out to begin then leave to overwinter and start t...

Aln once again hits the head of the nail head on and spoils the fantasy, i was hoping OH would do a search of the tale and let his imagination run wild. But on a side note it is still a nice story to go with an area which is both beautiful and pleasant.

Nos Dda.

For OH seems to be a while since anyone posted ideas for your North Wales visit. My tip would be to stay in a place called Bedd Gellert in the Snowdonian range. It is in a nice area for plenty of walking, Snowdonia is not the only walk in the ranges!!!! It has a couple of nice olde style country pub...
