.. Since I last posted.
But here is how my allotment is going since I got it a month or so ago. Been a bit manic with getting down there and planning our wedding in September so heres where I am with it so far.
What I got when I started:
After some initial weeding:
Then I put in some of the veg I had growing in tubs in my garden:
Current state of the Pumpkin:
Got some powdery mildew on the leaves at the minute, going to try the mix of water/milk to kill the fungi so will see how that goes.
I want to tidy up the rest of the plot ready for next year, we weeded almost all of it, and within a week of rain/sun they've almost all come back. What can I do to rid 90%-100% of the weeds?
I'd ideally like to set up some bushes at the bottom end, raspberry, gooseberry and a recurrent bush. Then a row of strawbs, and then the rest will be a mixture of things like potatoes, onions, b-sprouts, broccoli.
Was hoping after my current few plants finish, to dig up and make some bordered rows somehow, just to help define the rows. But not really sure where or how to start, only ever grown stuff in pots at home.
Thanks for looking.
