Allotments 4 All

oo cool cucumbers!! :D

have sent you the details shes really lovely

Thanks CaseyLee I've got her details :D Exactly what my plots are needing to open up the soil and help it drain a little better i think ;) woohoo!

casey lee i have yet to pot my chilies in 3inch pots but i am going to have well over 100 plants with plenty to spare if you would like some.

I might just take you up on that offer I don't think chillies like me very much, I have planted a few more I will see how they go first if thats ok.  THank you for the offer you are a star

We went around to check The OH's chillie seeds and see if he had any coming up today after shopping....He was thrilled to bits to see quite a few seedlings beginning to break the compost in the trays....fingers crossed they continue to grow on :D

Sorry slight change of subject but do any of you guys have produce shows near you? and would you enter anything if you have?
  We have a craft and produce show here and last year I entered some needlework and photos, this year if all goes well I might have a go at entering some veggies. :)

not that I know of, I don't think I am even close to that standard at the mo lol, I will be happy to grow one carrot at the moment lol

no worrys ,if you need some just let me know.

Our produce show, some of the categories where immaculate but then, some of the entries were not so spectacular and still did well.  I have an apple tree and one of the classes was apples, as I walked round I thought I should have brought mine in LOL  
  Don't put yourself down, when you see shows on the telly, you can tell people take it extremely seriously, I think our show is more for fun although there may be a few that disagree  :)

i have 7 trays of chilies .what all started off in my green house,then i took three trays over my dads green house(his was heated)
waited ages for them to come up so brought them inside the house and place on a upside down cardbored box in frount of the radiator ,i water them every other day and they love it they have grown so much since
i also picked up the ones from my dads green house as they hadnt come up and just after two days nearly ll is shooting..
three trays are ready to be replanted into 3 inch pots

YAY! my polytunnel greenhouses arrived this morning :D Also the OH missed a delivery late last week which must have been my compost bins so I need to arrange for them to be redelivered.....all I need now is a shed and I'm sorted :)

Fluffnco, if you don't mind me asking, how much did your polytunnel cost and where did you get it from?

I'll Im you a link to the people I bought them off.....2 for 1 and they look pretty sturdy too for the money :)

Thank you  :D

Being cheeky here, but could you let me in on it too, please Fluff?  I need more "glass" to grow things under.

What do I mean more?  I currently have a roofless lottie greenhouse, and a more or less glassless garden one.  :'(

have im'ed you link denbee....sorry to hear about your greenhouses :( wind has decimated a lot of peoples greenhouses and/or sheds

Thank you, Fluff.  :)

The glass did make a pretty tinkling noise as it broke, though.  I could hear it while sitting here in the study at the pc.  ::)

probably fortunate I haven't been able to put anything on mine then :( How many panes of glass did you lose?

About half of them.  It was only a 4' x 6' greenhouse, but the loss of the first panes meant that it lost any rigidity, and then the wind blew it against the shelves which were inside, which broke some more glass.

OH dismantled it because a couple of bits of aluminium got twisted, so it's tucked away in a corner of the garden for the minute.  I've not sown anything yet, but I'm preparing the conservatory for use - so far I've got a 4-tier mini greenhouse (minus cover) set up in there.  And luckily I cleared the windowsills the other week, because they're going to come in very handy.  :)
