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??

June signals a new start!

Having been away for a week, everything has grown, including the weeds. Everything is green and lush despite the lack of rain.

The highlight of yesterday was harvesting a big bag of strawberries (now all eaten) and lots of peas and broad beans.

Last night I made a very nice broad bean and pasta meal:
  • Pasta
  • broad beans
  • onions
  • bacon
  • seasoning
  • cream cheese

Cook it all up and mix it all together with the cream cheese. Reheat.
Serve with a Greek Salad.

The other activity started today. My neighbour on plot 53 cannot keep it up, so is letting us look after just under half of the plot (53b). It was very over grown, so today I started the clearance.

No strimmers were used in the making of this sequence.

What a glutton for punishment!
