  • Dry weather +week off work=Allotment time

    Hello everyone finally got some good time at the plot. I manage to do quite a lot of cleaning, finishing the green house , clearing the ground and doing some pruning
    As you can see in the picture

    Here the berry bed that I thought was just few bushes I find out that they were 12 bushes in a space of 6sqm and they were too close to each other and overgrown as you can see fron the picture

    Few of them were almost dead so I pull them out plus few good one just to leave some space for the 4bushes I left. I know you think is a waste but I don't want that many red currant or blackcurrant and want to plant some blubbery as well in that bed.

    And the apple tree finally nice and clean underneath and had a nice trim waiting for more next year for another cut.
    Thanks for taking your time to read this post.

      I have so many projects for the plot. There is a piece of plot at the back of the allotment where in the past used to be a path between the school and the allotment site wich they closed with the fence and some plot they extended the plot right at the back of the school fence. It's about 30 Sqm so quite a good size. But for now I have to concentrate the energy and time on the actual plot otherwise I start a lot of project and never finish one.

        Nothing like getting stuck into something. Always feels like you have had a productive day when you look back at what you have done.

          Sounds like you've had an ideal week Good that you've had dry weather too. Our garden is like a bog right now and will likely stay that way until spring.
          LOVE growing food to eat in my little town back garden. Winter update: currently growing overwintering onions, carrots, lettuce, chard, salad leaves, kale, cabbage, radish, beetroot, garlic, broccoli raab, some herbs.

            Well usually this is the boggy side of England. But October has been better then all summer this year. Ahaha. I can't wait to get all up and running like I want. The neighbourhood is good as well because they offer me to use they garden bin to get rid of my weeds and pruning. So I have 3 bins available every week to fill up on every Thursday afternoon in case they need them. Save me some trip to the tip.
