Picking tomatoes cucumbers and sweet peppers from my greenhouse. I am really missing home grown fresh veg!! :'(
Me, too. Sick of tasteless salads when I go out for a meal :-\
Still, the tomatoes are all showing ;D
A blight free season
XX Jeannine
Buying a big piece of polythene with the money HMRC says it is giving me back.
Only here will people understand why that is a double joy.
Digging my first spuds, hole free and plentiful. :D
... taking the first modest crop of asparagus, planted in spring 2010.
Raspberries, strawberries fresh rhubarb and yoghurt. Lovely sunny days and soft refreshing rain during the night.
starting some lovely seeds off done a very few soon soon now
I am dreaming of enjoying our new allotment. Also looking forward to the open days and veg show that we have planned for the year.
I am dreaming of spending some quiet time on my plot just working away as best I can, and then sitting back with a nice coffee and just listening to the birds singing
Last year was a no go for me, so this year with some help with the digging my plot will be lovely, with plenty of things growing, all well, I hope
June.
I'm dreaming of our secretary saying that one of our three abandoned plots has finally been given up by the owner so I can have a full plot...and grow twice the lurvley fruit and veg!!
;D

Ditto... grown from seed sown in 2009, kept in a succession of pots until last year, planted out into their bed, decent showing plants last year... this year I get to eat some.....
Warmth.....
Getting my spuds in... my small stock from my first crop last year that I grew on a small garden share are finished.. Thats 7 months of own spuds..
Drying my own tomatoes this year. Did couple of years ago, they were great.. ;D ;D
Temperatures somewhere above zero so I can get back to digging over my new plot...
Getting a polytunnel up. Hopefully I'll do it this year.
Actually putting something in the ground rather than just taking weed roots out ... then ironically taking things out of the ground again.
Dry weather. I need to dig!
The first seeds coming up in their modules.
Homemade cheese, home grown tomato and home-cured ham on a toastie made with homemade bread All enjoyed with lovely salad straight from the garden and a bowl of soup made from the stock of the ham and a little of each root veg on a sunny weekend in late summer. Washing it all down with a glass of my own wine or cider, while I look over my rows of crops, shuffling the hoe about a bit in the warm sunshine and topping up that glass.
Actually growing something this year. I took a year off last year......and some warm sunny weather with summer showers overnight, not all day! ;D

A White Christmas. ;)
.....lots and lots of juicy blackcurrants .....
The first radish,rocket oh and the first sun warmed tomato shoot me now....
My first complete season on my newish Allotment. ;D
...playing in my greenhouse with the radio on quietly,a lovely cup of tea and the sight of OH next door playing happily in his
...going home from work, eating something we have grown and then still having time for an hour or two down the allotment before dark.
...being able to spend an hour or two down there before work
...not having to wade through mud in the cold and dark to shut my chickens in after work
...long sunny afternoons sitting around admiring my work
etc
Getting more on top of things on my allotment :) spending more time enjoying it and also hoping my sons will help with the digging ;) ;)
And really dreaming that our allotment site can stay where it is and not be moved to a new position with all the hard work that will cause :( :(
