15 feet to go-then its all done till spring.

Roll On

An other day of staying in as its windy, raining and cold - its 7c outside and the winter is starting early as it did last year , this is the reason i like to get the plot dug over early before the start ot the bad weather.
  The change fom summer to autumn came very fast this year, over night it seems-roll on the summer days sitting on the plot.

Saturday 15th October.

Its been a bad week weather wise-cold and wet so i have not been down to the allotment for a few days
wed was the last time i was down
The battery's on my scooter are not charging to the full capacity  and are getting worn out and need replacing- this i will do in the next week.I went to the plot on Thursday-first time for a week, did a bit of digging-getting there slowly but surely.

Onion sets are now around 2 " high and the broad beans  planted to test the germination are now starting to grow the radical root- so the rest of seed will successfully grow next spring.

Still at it !!

Once again its raining, only showers but its rain and soon gets you wet! so no allotment to day, but as i look through the window  the sun is shining, maybe i should have gone to the plot ?

Planting

Got the onion sets in at weekend as planned [  2 rows ]  next will be the garlic, still got to get it from lidl.
Once that's in that's the lot till spring.

My friend john has been to the plot a few times to do some winter digging for me, just a bit each day, but it all counts in the end, and its nice to get some help.

If it stays dry for the next few days it will give me a chance to finish the digging, that will be 50% of the plot dug over.

Here at last!!

Here at last the winter onions from kings seeds, 50 sets in all, and will hae them planted by weekend weather permiting. Must go to the pound shop to buy a lengh of fleece to cover and keep warm over the winter months
