Allotments 4 All

Still peering hopefully into the heated propagator....
Shouldn't need much, still able to take OH coffee and toast in the mornings, from day one... 

Planned surgery... once this one is healed they are going to do the other one...

Best of Luck!

Well I haven't decided yet but as can be seen in the cold greenhouse I have numerous plants I can put in, most of them are perennial, so I guess I will be finding somewhere to put these.

I haven't decided what I want to do with my herbaceous border (under the fruit trees) I am toying with the idea of trying to make it as maintenance free as possible. I have also to keep in mind leaving access to the fruit trees for harvesting purposes. My thoughts are clumps of Lilies, Dahlias, Iris and Chrysanthemums, with a frontage of a few biennials I have on the go.

Then I have got to think of in terms of vegetables in the bed behind my heather bed. I have a few Onions, and Garlic on the go. Then as normal I will grow my carrots & salad crops in the cold frames once they are emptied of hardening off plants.

I might grow some Beetroot as a contrasting colour in my flower borders.

So really I only have a bit of a planting plan, so only time will tell.

Weather permitting, I will hopefully get a good display of colour, some of which will be edible.

Then of course my cold greenhouse will be filled with Tomatoes, Sweet Peppers, Chillis & Cucumber.

My fruit collection will be Apples, Pears, Plums, Gooseberries, Raspberries, Strawberries & Rhubarb.

So I have the stock, the rest is up to Mother Nature.

I hope that answers your question Tg

I miss Ryton too... then started going to one at Harper Adams Uni... that was good, but last couple of years, went to one on the road between Welshpool and Shrewsbury. I haven't seen Carlingford for a while, but they did have Epicure (though we didn't choose it). It was on the 10th Feb... luckily the snow got warned away!
