Thats it for this year!

I have completed my winter digging,emptied the greenhouses, purchased my seeds, prepared my sowing and planting out plan.

All that remains to do now is;   pass on my seasons greetings to you all, then it will be a case of getting my feet up until around February.



Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year to you all.....Tg

Very Merry Christmas to you too TeeGee!!!

I wish I could say the same as you! Still, not too bad this year: I have the manure on the plot and one quarter has been spread. I still have to cut the raspberries and trim the  gooseberries, I need to rebuild my composter that just got destroyed in a storm (give me a chance to move it and have a brilliant squash patch on the old site in the summer!). The seeds are ordered, the garlic is planted and I just need to manure and then cover the onion patch ready for february and the first shallots. Then we will be in business.
2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France: http://roos-and-camembert.blogspot.com

We are just going up tomorrow to lift the last of the carrots and parsnips to store and then it will be just a case of popping up there if we've a mind just check that all is well.
I would like to thank you too TeeGee for your website and your book that I got last year.
Have a  nice Christmas and a very peaceful new Year

Nearly there, but sprouts and kale to pick on Christmas Eve.

A very Merry Christmas to you TG and all here too.

Not quite.  In the UK, we're obliged by law to use metric measures in certain circumstances and there have been generations of children gone through school who have been taught nothing else.  It's only old farts like me who were taught Imperial and used it for a large part  of our lives who still think in Imperial.

Postscript - just been reading Wiki, the USA is one of only 3 countries in the world that doesn't officially use or mandate a metric system of measurement.  The other 2 are Myanmar and Liberia, great company, eh!  Seems like a couple of half-hearted abortive attempts to go metric have been tried since the 1970s.
