My Allotment - growing well!

Herbs


Mini Corn (front) Onions (behind)


Potatoes


Flowering Sprouts


Rose Bush (I know that isn't a veg, but it's pretty!)


And Christmas Tree (rescued from a shop one Christmas - it hadn't been sold & was going to be burned! Was about 3 feet tall, now it's about 20 feet!))

Tell me how do you find the time for that amazing allotment, Dempsy, Kids, job, oh and coming on here?!?!? Start calling you super Caryll!

Well, the kids are 18 & 17, so they pretty much take care of themselves! All the back breaking work on the allotment is done by the oh, I just do the seeds & planting out.

Work's only 3 mornings a week & Dempsey (despite my constant moaning!) isn't that bad a boy, really!

i am impressed, well done, i would love to have an allotment but the waiting list is too long, i did have a ful sized one with a shed when the kids were small, but all they ever wanted to do was go home, so i had to give it up.

love the roses they are my favourite flower

Hmmm, when we took it over the kids were all "I want to help!"

Now, it's "Oh, Mum, you don't need me over there - I'll look after Demspey!"

Wow, very impressive.

Just like a real-life "farmville"

go caryll, my spinach is growing good also

do you enter competition?

when my dad had allotment he used to grow a few things for competition he won the biggest Onions 5 time in a row and i think he won best 3 broad beans for a couple year but he give up becasue he thought people was swapping them

do you have a them water tanks with a tap at the bottom?

what my dad used to do was to get a cotton bag or a hey bag fill it up with horse poo and place it into the water tanks to food his competition onions you had to see the size of them they was the size of basketball

We've got running water on the plots & we're not allowed to put anything in the tanks.

I don't go in for comps, my veg isn't good enough for that cause we don't use pesticides etc to they're not always a perfect shape or size. We're as near to organic as we can get.

yea my dad alloment had a running water but he had one of these also with cow or horse poo in sacks, it's good way of feeding your plants

Wow im impressed you have green fingers im hopeless plants die on me

Wow thats really nice
