This week on the plot - 27/2-2/3/12

Ultra busy week on the plot brought about by a week of dry(ish) weather. Motivated by needing to feel that everything was under control so that there is space for plants to go in when they're ready.

 So this week on the plot:
 Space made ready for first early potatoes



Compost bin turned into the one emptied last week
 then refilled with the contents that were in here




 Red Sun shallots planted (which curiously smelled like garlic!)
 and covered so the pesky birds dont pull them out



Space made ready for onion sets to go in in a couple of weeks


And then finally today pallets de-constructed (with limited swearing and only a couple of hand/hammer incidents)

 and the edges of my 30m path started to be edged
 which will then have weed membrane put down and bark chippings added on top in a couple of weeks.

I've managed to fit a lot in to the couple of hours I've spent there each day. Everything feels like its coming together now. Tis very good :)

  2. Wow you are progressing so well on your allotment plot. I don't have an allotment plot myself anymore, but have more space now to grow at home as I have moved. I look forward to comparing growing notes and watching you progress. Happy growing.
