wow thanks all  :)
hoping as rory enjoyed it so much the other day, I may get down there a bit more while I am out of work!

Cambourne7 I am so jealous of your freebies! I might have to look into come cabbage and cauli now, they look so delicious! we weren't going to bother as we don't eat them  much.

Hi all, as we haven't been down at all in the last week, and won't get til at least Tuesday after work.  The rain hasn't helped obviously, but we've been so busy with family commitment etc and we both work full time too.  I feel more and more like we're drowing in 'undone jobs'!

Sowed some cauli's, brocolli and cabbages in modules today so at least we'll have some plants to put out in a few weeks hopefully!

Very little, and not very often is our motto at present, but it's always harder in your first year.... right?  :D

Hi kitten

my first year too, in fact I only got the plot in February so its been HARD work so far. We have only cultivated half the plot too , the rest if hald heartedly covered in tarps trying to stave off weeds!!

[SueSteve]

We havent managed to get to the lottie for a week now, I am really looking forward to the rain stopping, if only for one day, and hopefully that will be a day when I am not at work LOL! (Mon,Weds or weekend!), it doesn't look like it will be today!
the outdoor jobs are piling up at the allotment and in the garden!

[cacran]

Do you know, Asbean, you sound just like me. My fingers are ingrained with muck. Oh I'll never be a laydeeeeee!!!!!!

[Robert_Brenchley]

My jobs are piling up too; the peas and sweet peas need planting out urgently, and I'm way behind. I had no Easter break, and ten weeks' teaching without a rest is completely exhausting.

i normally goto the plot when kids at school for a couple of hours i the morning, but not lately one the weather and two we have 16 community service men over there right next to our plot, int going over there feel intimidated

[SueSteve]

I managed to do 40mins on Monday and 3 hours this morning - Yay!
I stayed in the rain for about 30mins this morning, I kept thinking that it will only be a shower and stop in aminute, but it didn't and I decided to go home. Got home, the rain stopped - typical. Anyway, I needed to get some housework and cooking done, but I might try to get back later.

[cacran]

You sound like me. I love the lottie sooooooo much I can't be bothered with the cooking and housework. I have to dash back from the lottie, get stuff done in a rush at home so it looks as though I have been slaving over a hot stove for hours. I am going to have to dust today though it's getting thicker. God, I hate housework!!!!!

[BarbaraGood]

cacran amen to that 8)

[Good Gourd2]

I`d much rather be at the lotty than doing housework my quick visits usually take about 2-3hours, son`t be fooled into thinking that I tend my plot for that long, I usually have to talk to about 5 people about it first. Thats the nice thing about the lotty everyones so friendly. One thing about this weather though because I don`t go down there every day perhaps twice then when I do the plants have really grown (well most of em!)  :)
