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??

The glut begins

The middle of June saw the start of the glut, starting with early potatoes, beetroot, peas and broad beans:

Lupins

In the middle of June there was an amazing show of Lupins on John's plot:

A June round-up

June seems to have sped by, so it's time to do a quick summary of things no hither to recorded.

Looking back to the start of June it's almost impossible to believe how fast things grow.

Here for example is a three week separation in growth on the pottager plot:

8th June -

and 30th June -
Andrew and the Sunflowers

(Yes that is a real son not a six feet five scarecrow).

Talking of scarecrows, strange visitors were spotted up the posh end of the allotments:
