The plot, Mk.2 21 Feb 2011 | 06:23 am
I really need a holiday, but it's just not feasible with what we've got on at work, so weekends tend to take a pretty laid back pace right now. Today, I woke about 9.30, had some breakfast, watched so...
The waiting game, part deux. 4 Feb 2011 | 10:04 am
Here we go again. That great eager anticipation of the long awaited call from the allotment society. After much pondering, wandering around the site and general indecision, I finally made my mind up ...
New Year. New plot dilemma. 30 Jan 2011 | 01:54 am
The plots on our site are pretty large. So large that, over the years, the society has split some into 3. The resulting 1/3rd plots are still pretty big compared to most sites. My current plot is 1/3 ...
Give, and ye shall receive. 27 May 2010 | 06:27 am
At work, we get a lot of stock delivered from all around the continent on pallets, which we struggle to get rid of. A couple of local old boys come round and collect the standard Euro sized ones, whic...
A cruel twist of fate 19 May 2010 | 08:43 am

Growing sweet potatoes is proving to be an interesting experience. I started two tubers off in water way back in February. They took an age to show any sign of life and, initially, just one seemed to ...
Call that a pallet? 25 Apr 2010 | 10:00 pm
Despite the fact that erecting the shed was one of the first things I did on the plot, it's been neglected since, and in need of a floor so I could build upwards with shelving, etc. We recently had so...
I think these may be a signs… 24 Apr 2010 | 05:46 am
Boring day at work today, improved only by the weather, which is fantastically sunny at the moment. Half of me wishes it'd carry on like this forever. The other half wishes it'd chuck it down overnigh...
Cider and rosy. 22 Apr 2010 | 05:38 am
Came home from work this evening and bottled "April Fool", the cider I started on the 1st of April. Needless to say, a quick sampling was in order and, to paraphrase Richard Hammond, it'll put hairs ...
