I do enjoy reading other people blogs to glean some tips and tricks and look at some pictures.
Please feel free to post links to your blog in this topic to allow nosey people like me to find them and see how you are getting on ;D
Mine is in my signature

Mine's brand new and a bit rubbish so far :-[

-
Love your title :D
-
had been wondering what a blog was - am so behind the times, am still excited I have worked out how to get pictures on here :)
-
Like a diary so I'm less tempted to bore the pants off everyone I meet! :D
-
Ooh - I love being a gardening bore - I can bore on other topics too. ;D
-
Bupster, your blog is great! It's really well written and enjoyable, and you seem to be going through all the same things as me ;)
Now off to check out Diesels....
-
Cheers, Suzylou! :) Will be posting fascinating photos of brambles shortly. Stand aside for the stampede :)
-
I kept a log on my website, but then didn't get round to updating it half the time! Oh well. Didn't get round to writing down what was sown/planted/harvested after April this year (worse than last year :( )
Hmm - my website last updated 14th April (though I have written more stuff for it, just a little teeny weeny bit, but not uploaded it)
-
I started one this year, not updated it for a month or so but need to as things have moved on so much recently. Must try harder!

Wardy: You have to make the pastry very light or it sinks :)
-
I have enough on my plate being in charge if and designing the school website.
-
Do you think they will let me set up a gardening blog on the school web site - I do sometimes host pictures on there that I am posting here or elswhere.
-
I love blogs especially the ones with the pictures - probably because I'm dead nosey! although I must admit that I haven't added to mine since the beginning of the summer although I have some piccies to add - perhaps I will do that tomorrow evening. to see my blog just click on the link below

Some great veggies there, and nice to see another sailor on the site!

Very nice blogs peeps.
The allotments are so big! They look better than backyard vege patches.
And the growth fairly fast in such a short time. Really looks like you all know what you are doing.
Anna :)

This is where my allotment pages are,

OK peeps, I need help!! I know have that web site thingy, but looks really crap! Had a look at all your wonderful sites and decided to go the blog route. So, visited blog site and started....... but it's got my name as Katgoria!!!!! Sounds like tummy upset, can't work out how to change it, and if I put down link, please be gentle........OK, with trust in heart, here it is.......! Lottie
http://firrybottom.blogspirit.com/
HELP!!!
It's not even in English! And having had to put up with Undercarriage Plan, I couldn't cope with being Kategoria......! :o
-
Good evening peeps. Having just had a disconcerting conversation with my OH, I have suddenly realized that I have a cerebral dysfunction! I have just spent the last hour renaming my passport, my bank accounts and my socks because I thought my name was Kate Goria. However, I am now enlightened and have my head stuck in the dustbin, because I have seen the light, and realize that Kate Goria in fact not a spontaneous renaming of myself, but, in fact the German/Albanian/Slovakian ( you choose!) word for category..... I know feel like a huge cucumber, and realize I have made stupidity an extreme sprot! And am now heading for the meths......Thank you for your time. Lottie ;D
-
I was thinking of moving onto "Meths", What's it taste like? ??? ;D
-
Unfortunately, not strong enough..!! Still here to bare witness to my ultimate stupidity......But thanks for being so gentle with me!!! Cheap though..the meths, I mean......Have decided to stick to my thickie's website, which is in the little world thingy, under my addy! Went hitailing it back there after humiliating blog experience...
Lottie ;D ;D It's Finnish by the way.....
-
looks like you have been blogged lottie , very good love the name firrybottom ;D ;D ;D
-
Oh Dibs....!! OH was awful!! Spent the entire evening on the floor crying with laughter, I managed to surprise even him, and he's used to me!!!! Really thought I'd mucked up again and was Kate Goria!!! Well, at least I now know a bit of Finnish......Lottie
-
think the name suits you go,s with firrybottom that is Hilarius ;D ;D ;D ;D its is so typically you ::) ::) ::) no other name would do for lottie,s bit of heaven
-
Would firrybottom want to grow hairy balls?
(http://thompson-morgan.com/pix/m/seeds/4/gww4230.jpg)
-
LOL!!!! Erm, mind if I give it a miss? Lottie ;D
-
I can see the cucumber reference creeping back in here ;D
Derekthefox :D
-
Presumably this is the point someone like me just had to make a real attempt to stop lmao and ask about the cucumber reference.... ;D
-
I ain't going there!!! I'm in enough trouble! Thought it was me that broke the site this morning, for one terrible, frightening moment..... ::) ::) ::) Lottie
-
Need to cheer ourselves up on this dismally wet day - got absolutely soaked (my skirt was) walking my son to school (5 mins walk at most).
-
(http://bestsmileys.com/sun/1.gif) better? Same here, Multiveg, couldn't work, couldn't weed at lottie...sigh...well, went briefly, but so wet, then started pouring again.....Made me sad now!! ::) ::) ::) Lottie ;)
-
I've not posted anything on A4A for a while, but I wanted to say that I've enjoyed looking at new blogs that I haven't seen before - I will have to have more of a look when I have more time. Plus, I actually feel I've got something to contribute, for once!
I have a blog at http://allotment.humanlint.com. It's a bit of a joint project between me and my partner as I enjoy growing stuff and he's a web site designer. Having a blog means we actually spend some time together!
That said, I'm better at blogging than allotmenting...
Clare.
-
lottie what where when about a cucumber what have i missed , have you been being naughty lottie
-
Newchangeling, that's excellent! Get your OH to sort mine out, will you? Mine is still sniggering......!
Erm, Dibs.......not sure where the link is.....but did a little sketch of Multiveg's hairy balls ( I'm sorry, don't know how else to phrase this..), the name of my site.....and the cucumber, and kinda drew my own conclusions......Not completely daft!!! Lottie ;D
-
This is definitely the thread to cheer oneself up laughing after a manure day at work.
I need to redo my blog links page again it seems... once again out of date as there's loads more of you! I've had an allotment diary since May 2001 and am still more or less keeping on top of it and the plot itself. I've noticed I get a lot of hits on Mondays when I try to remember to update it! Lottie - I have never gone near blogging software as it didn't exist when I started. Doesn't matter - having a normal website with a blog works as well even if it does end up looking a lot simpler. And I get to do all sorts of other link pages too.

-
Moonbells ,that's excellent!!! Problem with mine is that it has 8/9 pages...what to do after then??? Stop lottying? Not an option, so I really need to find another way. But after my first brush with bloggin', kind of on the concerned side at min! But excellent blogg and lovely pics, well done you!! Lottie ;D
-
Lottie, I'm a complete beginner at blogging etc, but 'blogger' (just google for it' seems pretty idiot proof. It's taken me a month to post pictures, but that's me being crap rather than the site!
-
Also not in Finnish ;)
-
Darn, well that's me out of the game then, being fluent in Finnish and all.... ;)!! It may be thickie proof, Bupster, but not Lottie proof!! That's a whole new ball game!! But will try again, though probably keep any "minor" probs to myself.... ;) Lottie ;D
-
Feel free to take a look at our "Blog". Sorry but its not all allotment talk mainly day to day ramblings, moans and groans and a few funny bits.
http://crashndonna.blogspot.com/
-
It's really good, Crash! Easy to read and funny! Thanks for your comment on mine!! Got really excited, I need to get out more.....I've finally sussed out blogging I think, felt confident enough to get shot of website and stick to blogg. Spelling may be bit dodgey.... Oh, yes and you'll be pleased to know, it's in English.........:-\ Lottie ;D
-
Shame, Lottie, I was rather looking forward to the Finnish ;D
-
Just noticed this.
Our effort is here - www.hoehoehoe.blogspot.com
18 months enjoyable graft

-
Wow! She says picking up jaw from ground...that's excellent, very impressed. Bit lacking in Finnish, but there we go....... ;)Lottie ;D ;D ;D
-
I've updated my website links page as to lottie blogs. Before, I had active and non-active blogs, now I've got a third section for A4A members' blogs (whether active or not) with the username too. So far I've only put up lottie blogs, not personal blogs with occasional sections on lotties.
Anyone object? (It's not gone live yet)

Glad to find this thread :)
-
Mine's moribund at the moment as I'm only getting up for a few hours each weekend and it hardly seems worth writing about. Must do better :-[
-
Moonbells your plan on your blog is superb how did you do it?

Chris

<moonbells wakes up and notices she's not read this thread in a while>
M$ word I'm afraid! Ages ago I did a 1cm to 1m scale grid of the plot and grouped all the little squares, then added in the permie features (and grouped them) and then added the beds as they were done each year. Now they tend to be permie bed locations too which makes it easier to change each year. You group the lot, then finally do free-floating lettering boxes with the labels in, and colour code them for each veg type.
Then at the season end, you just play with your mouse and the labelled boxes, moving them all to new positions. I keep previous years' plans so I can check the rotation is working. I've just shifted from 3 year to 5 year, so things just got more complicated!

-
I just wanted to say I am loving spending time reading all your blogs - and this site. I do feel a bit of a cheat as I don't even have an allotment....but have started my own blog anyway. So far it is about NOT having a plot....but one day.....one day..... :)

Inspired by you lot and your 'blogs' I have decided to give it a go....be gentle!

Ooooh, didn't know about this thread, here's my website I started a couple of days ago :)
www.news2share.co.uk (http://www.news2share.co.uk)
Had a brief look through some of the blogspots, they're great and can't wait to have a better read tonight when I have more time. :)
-
Ok, no one has posted into this topic thread in over a year but I'm sure there are more blogs and personal websites around. (if there has been another thread to cover this please ignore me!! ::) )
My blog is http://www.fork-in-hell.blogspot.com/
I'm now going to go through all the previous posts in this thread and look at other blogs....
-
Looking at some of your blogs people, I need to learn more about posting photos onto my main pages. There are some good blog sites with cracking opening photos. So I guess I have some IT learning to do on mine...

You have a good blog there Ktlawson, pictures do bring it more to life but it's also great to read of other peoples experiences and what they are doing (just so we all know what we should be doing! ;D )
-
Mine is at http://allotmentchick.wordpress.com/ (http://allotmentchick.wordpress.com/). It is mostly about my lottie, but also some other stuff like walking, nature and the odd rant here and there!

Thanks Leonie, I've replied to your comments on the blog, you've made my day by being the first person to leave a comment! I've been having a look at yours, it looks AMAZING such brilliant photographs! I need a few quiet hours on my own to have a proper read of the entire blog but it's just the sort of blog I love!
I'm not sure of the etiquette with doing links on blogs? Can I put you on my blog and vice versa?? Is it rude to ask??
-
No problem at all linking to my blog, I'm glad you enjoyed looking at it. I'll pop a recipricol (sp?) link back to your blog. Thanks :)
ps...do I get a prize for being the first to comment ;) only joking! ;D

My current "plot" blog is in my sig, however I'm thinking if I take one of the plots offered to me tonight, then I'd have to start a new one for the "lottie".
This is when the OH bursts into action and comes into his own .... he can set me up a whole web page complete with new blog ! I'll have to cut the sleeping down to 2hrs a day to keep up with all this lol
