update on my allotment year

just though I would post a little update on my year, as I was so full of excitement early this year with hopes and plans, most of which didnt pan out.

As a newbie to allotmenteering I have a lot to learn and this year has certainly tought me that.

I had plenty of good potatoes, lost all my broad beans peas, cabbage and brussels to the pigeons will need to net them next year.

had plenty of lettuce mind you did have over 200 plants tee hee seed happy will remember to only sow a few more than I need and not the whole packet.

Slugs got my onions however lifted them although small very nice, plenty of garlic and shallots some of which I have pickled.

lots of beetroot yum yum.

sweet potatoes not very good at all dont know what I did wrong except maybe they should have been in a poly tunnel.

The allotment site is very small and had no committee. well fired up all the plot holders have helped to form a society and committtee.

been a busy bee this year big plans for next year on the plot next year have invested some time in a spread sheet planning it (didnt do that last year or keep a diary) one more thing I have learned.
