Re: North to South 'v' East to West

On our plots the wind flow direction is often such that if we plant tall climbing items like peas/runner/French beans on a north south aspect we have to virtually anchor them down. I plant lower crops in both north south and east west rows. When sowing or planting I do try and take account of the su...

Re: 2015 Big Allotment Challenge

Hi MW, that sounds pretty much like what I would like to see as well. **************** I am now slightly bemused by this weeks episode of the challenge. In episode One a participant was given a dressing down by Thane Prince for using Dill that had not been grown on his plot, it had come from a shop....

Re: Burning Issues of the Day

Totally agree with you Primrose, however if you look again at what Malvern Cops have produced it does suggest that if next of kin is same address then leave space blank. Personally I have put 'As per vehicle registration' in that space and have left phone number blank as well. I also put only the mo...

Re: 2015 Big Allotment Challenge

:D Plumpudding. figure of speech.
Feel free to qualify it by prefixing it with 'who think they are' or is 'promoted as being'

Re: 2015 Big Allotment Challenge

Have to say I would like to see something that wasn't centred upon the 'perfect professional gardener'. That is already catered for on the existing gardening programs I doubt any company would have the courage to make it but something that featured 'everyday amateur allotment keepers' up and down th...

Re: 2015 Big Allotment Challenge

one bloke was so smug I could have wallopped him, Another woman was gurning theatrically all the time and I could have wallopped her as well, Then the daft lad who didn't sow his Zinnia seeds until about 6 ( or something equally silly) weeks before they were needed, needed wallopping..... Elaine I ...

Re my earlier jam jar problem
