Yes! I waited three years and now I've got one.
I hope one day my allotment looks like this. At the moment, it looks nothing like this.
What shall I sow first, apart from love? I may set up a special allotment blog so that green-fingered readers can keep up to date with what I hope will become a thing of great beauty.
It will need a shed of course. Every man needs a shed.
How exciting! For a decorative start, you could plant a John Paul II clematis over the fence/hedge. I got one at B&Q last year. Nothing much happened then, but now it seems to be shooting up.
ReplyDeleteWhere can you buy wheelbarrow seeds?
ReplyDeleteLeeks. Easy, robust plants, and many uses in cooking. We have leek soup once a week, takes less than 30 mins, filling, delicious and satisfying meal. I'd love to be able to use homegrown leeks.
ReplyDeletePotatoes - good for the soil! Every man needs a shed, and a pipe!
ReplyDeleteI've got three spare runner bean plants, plus bamboo poles for a wigwam, if you'd like. And I'm local. It's not too late to get a few tomato plants in. But I expect the old-timers at the allotment will let you know what's do-able.
ReplyDeleteYou might even find an unwanted shed at freecycle!
"Leutgeb", at the Blog, "Bara Brith", will be a mine of information on Allotments. Once an Allotmenter, always an Allotmenter.
ReplyDeleteAs for Eccles' query, reference "Wheelbarrow Seeds", I can supply bags of them.
Ask him to send a cheque, made out to "The Blackfen Minor Basilica Fund", and Wheelbarrow Seeds will follow.
Honest.
