Hi all I have recently taken on an allotment in the Bittern road east site and feel it is the best thing that I have done in a long time it is so relaxing yet such hard work with the added benefits of self satisfaction, hopefully fruit and veg and such an amazing place to learn from some amazing people!!! so if you have any thing to share please feel free to write it for our group!!
over grown plots
I don’t know if it the same on you site but here at Weston there is quite a few plots that have not been cultivated at all this year, over grown with long grass and weeds, some have been attempted with little bits here and there but with no real attempt to grow crops.
on the allotment this week,,,,,,, 24th april 09
rocket and lettuce seeds are just starting to grow,,were sowed under glass straight into raised bed,
planted radish seeds thursday and spinach,also my 1st asparagus is popping up from my 2year old plant,,,,,,very very tiny.gonna get some seaweed from the shore and chop it up to put in bed...it loves this.
