Allotment update - Amazonian lilies in full bloom, peas potato's and corn looking good, carrots sprouting, more seedlings ready for transplanting

in #homesteading6 years ago (edited)

Unfortunately i wasn't able to do much at the allotment last week. Severe arthritis flare up, been too crippled to get out of the flat for nearly a week. Luckily i have a good friend who shares the lotty and does most of the digging and labour.
We make a good team. i'm green fingered and he's the d.i.y. man.

Scotch thistle on a neighbours plot. It must be about 8 feet high!

You can't beat growing your own. If you don't have a garden (like myself, i live in a flat) why not get an allotment?

if you are in the UK check out your local council. you might be surprised at how cheap they are.
We pay £75 per year (includes water rates) for a decent sized plot.

You get to grow your own, have a garden with somewhere nice to be in the summer and you get meet some great people and be a part of a great community
