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??

It's getting chilli in the greenhouse.

All is going spiffingly in the greenhouse, with peppers, chillies, tomatoes and cucumbers in full fling.

There are lots of cuttings etc. coming on as well.

On the allotment everything is very dry, but doing well. Pumpkins are swelling nicely, and summer squash are forming. Swedes seem very slow.

The shed

Not so much the shed, but the hollyhocks. I do love them, and wish I had the cottage to go with them.

Pumpkin Soup due

One thing that is doing really well in this dry weather: pumpkins.

Cherry Tomatoes in the Greenhouse

Everything coming on nicely.

Rioting stopped.

Despite the best efforts of the aphid scum, the ladybirds in full protective body armour create a no-go area on the sunflowers.
