Folks the happy event I was awaiting came good today. Yep the comittee granted me another plot. Was up there today with the carpet tiles and covered about1/3 of it.

Why not? When I have a bonfire on the plot. I dig in the ash.

That seed swap looks a good Idea I intend to do one next year but also add seedlings. I tend to plan 20 tomato seeds incase some don't come up. Then end up with 20 plants.

Yep I got my seeds today, Carrot "Early Nantes 2" and Basil. Both of which I use so they are in my seed box. And I got my first Private Message from Jason Mr Admin. So I am a happy bummy now.

I plant Kestral. My plot is like a brick works. And they come up lovely. Never a problem with Slugs or Blight. Dig a trench and but a layer of leaves in it, put in the tuber and cover with compos t. AS they grow cover again with compost and keep pileing it on as they grow.

Looks interesting..May be good for Herbs and trailing Strawbs on the patio. Hope they do a selection colours. May give it a go.

Ok new trial. I have a kid in the bath, playing with the hairdryer. I want to see how many posts I can make before the lights go ou

For the first year you should dig them up and put them in the greenhouse, then on just cut them back and cover the crowns with straw. After that I leave them out.
