Old/new strawberries?
At the end of last year I took the best runners from my three year old strawberry bed and gave them a lovely new well composted bed of their own. I was just going to dig up the old bed but my OH said, "Aw, give them another year." So I did. Now the new bed is giving the minimum of small, m...

Re: Crop Rotation vs. Available Space
I found this very interesting as I always have problems with crop rotation - mainly, I know, due to my lack of organisation skills - although I do try. I remember my Dad`s tiny back garden where he grew his little patch of new potatoes and runner beans. He had a permanent runner bean support where h...

Re: gooseberry sawfly
Ah! This could have solved a bit of a mystery. Our soft fruit bushes are situated where the hens free range and we often see them doing acrobatic pirouettes to snatch at the leaves. They look really funny. Perhaps they`re really targetting wee beasties on the bushes. (We never get any fruit on the l...

Re: BEE'S
We have several beekeepers on our allotment site and the only problem we`ve found is when we get a swarm. This can seriously alarm anyone not familiar with bees and it`s no good saying, "They won`t hurt you. Swarming bees are very docile." when somebody is panicking with great clouds of be...

Brassicas after beans
I`ve got my winter greens, kale and psb, in pots to go in after the broad beans are over. However, they`re doing very well and are about six inches tall while the broad beans are only just nearly ready for picking. It`ll be ages before the bed`s empty! What should I do? I`ve got an empty bed that la...
