I've handing in my key to my allotment plot in New Arley - it was sad saying goodbye. [...]

This weekend I will be sowing my runner beans and French Beans. [...] With a good balance of both rain and sunshine, lately the soil on my plot is crumbling to a fine tilthe whenever I apply the rake to it - flowering soil. [...] I decided to walk the talk and initialise a 'no-dig' policy for the rest of my plot. Instead, I have been leisurely 'hoeing' the ground since February and the results are amazing. [...]
My favourite time of year! The grass is starting to grow, the sun is out more than it is in, flowering bulbs are putting on great displays in our gardens and parks and my hands are dirty with compost from seed sowing. Yes, that time of year is now upon us! [...] It's getting warmer fellow allotmenteers and time is creeping on! Only 5 days left to the start of spring and the weather is lovely! [...] Nice weather - an excuse to get down on to the allotment. Yesterday I separated and transplanted garlic cloves [...] Winter is not a time to be sitting on your laurels! There are plenty of things to do around the allotment and garden in the lead up to spring. [...] |
