Allotments 4 All

mine is planting potatoes, digging them up is no problem, eating them..well!!

Moving all our stuff off one site to another. We moved house 2 years ago and now have got on a site near to us so everything is on the move!

Trying to beat the weeds....... 8) 8) 8)

Turning our new plot from a tractor graveyard to a vegetable haven before spring.
and digging out the masses of bamble roots which are bigger than my head!

Digging.  Some of my 'soil' is still rock solid and some areas are only a few inches deep before it is like concrete.  

I only have a small percentage left which has not been dug.  And then there is packing up the bean/pea/sweet pea sticks.

Me too, and learning a bit of patience, I already have weeds growing round my onions and garlic, should have dug it over and then waited for the new weeds to show their heads before I planted.

Getting hubby to sow just one seed! 

He'll help me by clearing non-compostable stuff away, he'll put up the bean poles, pick the beans, and take them down, dig potatoes, spread manure, water and is my left hand so not really complaining, but I'd just love him to be in at the start.  :)
