Finally got the nonsense sorted with council thanks to one of the committee guys! I am now officially the owner of my plots again! What a malarkey! Mind it was nice finding time to mooch around the site while waiting which I haven't done for a couple of years. It was a nice stroll nosing over the fe...

Hi Adrienne,

Sounds you are on pretty much on of top of the chores. Make you feel good doesn't it when the beds start to fill! Shame about the Bramley but at least you have the plum. You are certainly more advanced than me, but I got some good rain today to so hopefully things will catch up.

Off to the plot tomorrow which was not in the plan, but once again the council has stuffed up folks payments for their plots so the committee guys are coming in for a bit so we can pay them & they will sort it out & make one big payment. I got my payment just sent back to me with no covering...

Nice quiet day on the plot - no neighbours down so no interruptions! After a good water of both plots I tackled Plot 2 beds & got all but 1 finished. Didn't cover them as supposed to be rain over the weekend. No sign of the toms yet it but seems the story of my life currently with the slow shows...

Some rain here over the weekend so hopefully enough along with the hosing I will do tomorrow. Doesn't look that promising except for overnight Saturday so fingers crossed enough to keep the wee plants happy. I will set up some stakes & dripper bags I think for the more important big guys, runner...

Hose was fixed so was able to get cracking & give everything a 'proper' water & being down early I was able to go around a few times as some fairly big cracks in some beds & with plants growing nicely, I thought if I can get some moisture deeper they will be happier. I got all the butts ...

Weather remaining nice so going for another 1st bus day tomorrow. 1st job will be a good watering, got some done but via the cans as the tap was on so tight I couldn't open it to attach the hose. I had a moan on the site last night & the committee guys are going to change the washers etc as thin...

Certainly dry on the plot at the moment, but luckily soil not cracked & hard like it has been so was able to do the re-sows. I decided not to do direct sows of the toms so set up pots with new compost to start them off. They probably would have been OK but noted some digging in the tunnel, proba...

Had a crazy day today. Finished on the plot so jumped on the bus to get home, but was told the bus was going to go another way due to a break down by another bus so expect some delay but OK to go on. The bus went way out past any area I was familiar with but then it broke down! He then advised that ...

Going down nice & early on the first bus again tomorrow to get cracking before too many folk come down. Wonder if the brassica's have woken up yet; seriously think not likely, but got lucky with a prime deal for mixed plants which are club root resistant! Just got to move the 2nd staging out to ...

I just went online & ordered some more; thanks guys! I never do a mix & match from different suppliers now with the site order available from Kings. Kind of makes you a bit lazy as just don't look elsewhere. Quite nice mooching around on line & found some new Chinese veg varieties to try...

I'm back to making lists again! All well & good off season getting distracted, but not so much fun suddenly realising you've got loads to do & actually quite behind. At least the beds are prepped so it really is just getting the seeds & plants in especially since the weather is looking g...

I'm a bit over excited as both phone & TV weather are saying sunshine for over a week! Temps aren't grand but liking the cheery little sun on most days. Works out well as just decided today I will be going down 3 days a week instead of just two for a bit. I don't normally go down that often as M...

My brain is officially addled! Went to pay my plot invoices yesterday & a total disaster with my computer not accepting them. A nice guy there had them all filled in & listed but despite both of us checking & tweeking we only managed to only get one to go through. The others looked like ...

Not a bad day on the plot but as usual didn't do as intended. The farmer behind prepped all his fields, (I hope this is a sign the railway offices will be moving out soon) & he also trimmed the hedge row again even though only done a couple of weeks ago, but this is way tighter so back of plot f...
