Allotment update - Amazonian lilies in full bloom, peas potato's and corn looking good, carrots sprouting, more seedlings ready for transplanting
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.
Lilies in full bloom
Potato's need mounding yet again.
Carrots sprouting. these need thinning out now.
Peas looking good. weeds starting to take hold though. i need to get those sorted.
Onions looking good. thanks to Paddy for weeding the onion bed.
Welsh onions looking good also. thanks again paddy for the weeding :-)
Here is the corn i planted a few week ago..
More corn ready to transplant into the same bed.
Aubergine seedlings ready to transplant into pots.
Melon seedlings ready to transplant.
Golden beetroot seedlings ready to transplant.
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
