Welcome.

On 6th April 2007 a very small piece of lawn was dug up, and a raised bed was made. It was sown with a few rows of vegetables. Late in 2009 we gained an half an allotment (plot 54B). What happens next??

A quick review of last year

Seeing as 2008 received no blog coverage, I thought it would be good to quickly cover what was grown and with how much success:

In the patch there were carrots and nothing else as I never got round to planting anything in between the carrot rows! The resulting carrots were bizarrely shaped but extremely flavoursome. 
I also had grew some leeks, tomatoes and sweet peppers in pots. The leeks were small but tasty, tomatoes stayed green and so gave us several jars of green tomato chutney, and the peppers were a failure!

Some valuable lessons were learnt from the various successes and failures:

  1. Don't plant the whole pack of seeds - its just too much!
  2. Don't leave tasks like for later (like pinching out the tips of the tomato plants - this may have been why the tomatoes all stayed green) 
Thats all for now; 2009 update coming soon!
