With the beautiful weather at the beginning of this week, I felt very spring like and decided to put some work into my part of a shared allottment. It doesnt take a lot, just some compost and seeds (creating the bed is def. the hard part!) Luckily my OH helped out by carrying the manure and compost down there so all that was left was weeding, putting on the compost and planting - to my mind the nice stuff!
I've decided to be ambitious this year as previously I've grown easy things like tomatoes and peas. Now I'm attempting to grow carrots and parsnips aswell as the usual peas, beans etc. I'm also going with beetroot, potatoes, sweetcorn. Watch this space - I'll update my blog with my progress - successes and failures!
Whilst I was there I noticed that there was a group of 3 girls all working on an allotment together, they were having a ball laughing and joking in the sunshine. I thought what a great idea, a good way to hangout with your friends and get organic vegetables at the same time! I just need to find a couple of mates who are happy digging in mud and live relatively near - any takers?!
