just read this post

I'm so sorry, it's so hard to comprehend the mind set of people who would do such a thing  :-\

I hope your feeling better now  :-*

I am fine now thank you,they missed the four plants that went out the week before on my other lottie and they have baby yellow pattypan squash on now,about 1 inch wide. The others are being re seeded. I have said this for 5 days now, but they are getting done tonight. All the pots are filled and the name tags done.

 Thank you for caring,it is very comforting XX Jeannine

Having been away for a week in Devon, I have just seen this post.  How can anyone be so cruel as to destroy all the hard work that someone else has done.   :'(  You must have been devastated. 

Somehow I don't think a fellow allotmenteer would have done this to you and the others as they would have appreciated the hours that are put in week after week. 

I think it was probably a mindless prank from a youngster, probably to impress his mates.  I just hope that he doesn't come back when everything is planted out again.  Sorry if I am being sexist here but it is usually youths that get up to this sort of thing.  I am pleased the squash plants from the seeds received from Sarah are safe and hope there is something that you can do to keep the destructive person or persons away from your allotment.

Looking forward to meeting you at Barnsdale.

Only just caught up with this, Jeanine (been away too)So sorry for you and your fellows. I would be inclined to dig a few ankle damaging camoflaged pits around them now ;D
Glad you're up and running again.

Oooh pits is a great idea - you'd have to remember where they were though!!

Glad you're all back on track Jeannine - I bet it takes more than that to keep you down girl!  ;D ;D ;D

By the way - the pumpkemons have germinated, beans still to come, planted sweetcorn, courgettes and squash today at the lottie. Thanks for all those gorgeous seeds, I have shared a few round to keep the love going!  ;D :-*

Wot is a 'pumpkemon' please? Surely not a cross.........no.

[emmy1978]

It's a little pumpkin! L'il pump-ke-mons they are called. A prezzie from Jeannine. I'm keeping 2 or 3 and the rest will go to the school fair.
