Well its still raining in Rugby. No gardening at the weekend and today, when I`m not working, its chucking it down again Decorating my bedroom at the moment so I can get on with the glossing but I`d rather be at the allotment. Maybe tomorrow will be dry and I can escape up there for an hour.

Hi all. Have we come to any arrangements about meeting place on Sunday? Not sure if I missed it? I`m bringing feta and pine nut couscous and some other stuff which I hope I will have decide on by Friday. Haven`t got plant to bring as I`m new to this lark. Will bring some flower seeds I`ve got in cas...

Thanks for the information. I`ll leave them outside for a few days and then plant them on the allotment

Can you tell me if its ok to plant out calabrese and brussel sprout plants now? I live in the midlands.
I`m running out of space in my little plastic greenhouse and could do with moving some stuff up to the allotment. Thanks

Unfortunately I had other plans for this morning so planned to go this afternoon but its raining. Hopefully get up there tomorrow - fingers crossed

Its another warm sunny day here in Rugby but I have to go to work again Why is the weather always good on the days I work ? Its not fair. Sulk over - sorry about that . Hope its nice where you are.

I know that Chantal was ill at ryton but I can understand her need for magic pills sometimes - i followed her down the road in her car yesterday and it looks like the circus has come to town. Her other half has covered it in England flags in prep for the world cup. The poor thing needs our sympathy ...

Me? never

Hi Mrs P. As Chantal says we are neighbours on the allotment in Rugby so there shouldnt be a problem with meeting up with you at Malvern. I`m driving and Chantal is navigating so we could be in for a fun day

I hate dusting, cleaning ovens and defrosting freezers -i tie the plastic bags up so where do all the loose peas and sweetcorn come from?
I`m the only female in my house (even the dog is a boy) I seem to be the only one that doesnt believe in the cleaning fairy -strange that!

I have now bought my ticket for Malvern and am looking forward to seeing those of you who are going along. Plant wise I would love some chilli pepppers to keep hubbie happy and some sweet pepper plants if anyone has any spare. I`ve got more sprouting onion sets than I can shake a stick at if anyone ...

I like to think that, if you spend more time on your allotment, then you have less time in your house to make a mess.

Hi i`m new to writing on the forum but have been reading it for a while. Trying not to pour fuel on the fire but I agree with Chantal that there used to be a picture of 2 chilli peppers on the forum.Cant remember asparagus but do remember chillis. Are you sure no one else remembers them or are some ...
