A bit late I know, but I have at long last started my new allotment year! I've just about tidied up my plot after the winter's inactivity, I've started seed sowing: tomato seedlings, aubergine courgette and brassicas in the greenhouse, spring onions and parsnips in the ground (although may have pulled up parsnips when sorting out the millions of weed seedlings that appeared.
My very productive plum tree (4kg last year) has flowered - I was a bit worried, it lost all its leaves after fruiting last year as have the other plum trees I planted.
Also, I've got an allotment extension! It's a strip of land about 3m wide adjacent to my plot but will make a few extra beds, and allow room for more fruit!
About Me
- Jeannette
- Who am I? There is the girl who loves to explore the world and find new things, who planned her first adventure aged 5 and has visited 29 countries so far. Then there is the homebody who loves being a mum to Elizabeth, baking cakes, cooking delicious food (often with ingredients grown in my allotment), gardening as well as making and creating. I also love to write, paint take photographs and play music. Maybe there's three of me!
