Title: a desaster or what
Post by: slyfox-mal on October 15, 2005, 19:46:42
here i am almost a year into my  lottie its gone from 8 foot high 8th of an acre jungle to an  almost respectable  lottie ive built four sheds two for me and two for my hens the hens got the best deal a ten by five foot  lean to green house a cheap poly green house
two rotovators  that wont start (yet)
  my potatoes where a disaster hardly any spuds for me  the slugs ate most of them
my toms got blight,my carrots all grew deformed the earwigs got most of my sweetcorn
my cabbage got clubroot but not my cauli the caterpillars ate them
the birds ate most my peas as they had finished my strawberries by then the peppers i grew are to hot to eat and ye guess wot i got loads of them
ive been burgled  twice but no damage and nowt missing  really  but i don't lock  owt up any how and leave my tools all over the place
i bought some maran chicks from auction and now have about 12  roosters (roasters come xmas) and about as many  pullets some of my bovan hens have an infection and ive lost a few over the last couple of months but treating em now
so all in all not a  really good year

but do i care nope  its the best thing ive ever done in getting my plot i still go home smiling every night  cant wait till tomorrow to get back down there
