Bed By Bed...

Today was a glorious day so after taking george out to the park we went down to the lottie, george has his own little bed he can dig in, so off he went.But what a suprise when I arrived, the Greenhouse almost fully glazed...Rich didn't say anything about that...

It's looking good, quite a few panes missing but that was due to how we transported them... Oh my camera is working today so lots of pictures!

So a quick check of the plants...Starting with cabbages...

They have launched in the last couple of weeks..

French bean bed looking grand..
This has been a really successful bed, shame it is converting to a fruit bed, but hey we'll get blackcurrants, redcurrants, white currants, gooseberries all in here, oh and Raspberry canes at the back.. Anyhow back to the beans..
The beans look great, Amanda has harvested quite a few and they are really nice...I'll collect some probably tomorrow.

Where next on the plot... Ahh the leeks, these guys are doing really well, a couple look like they might have problems but on the whole doing ok..

So I dug out bed H today, last week it was a flaming pit of fire and ash...Today it is transformed into a bed H.
Took two hours of hard graft, remember each bed is 1.5x4m long.. Good and bad news...Good news the old bramble bush roots aren't too bad, some are deep, bad news, lot of them..GOing to be hard graft, but the soil is perfect again...That pile in the middle is bed G our nature bed, at the moment it is a pile of remains from the beds we have dug out.

So now looking from the back to the front of the lottie we look like this..

Thats Rach and George, the green covered plots are the Brassica beds...
Looking from front to back we see this..


Where the brambles is like a waste land, I'll move quickly to turn those into beds otherwise it looks very scruffy, cannot be helped of course but we want to be good allotment neihgbours...That is the old greenhouse in the background, pity it didn't have a roof, we'll talk to Bob and see if he knows anyone who wants to scrap it.

Finally, here is how the vision is looking with the leak shack and the Greenhouse..


Alloment 13 is getting there slowly but surely, we have the blank canvas, we have the spades and forks to paint the picture, all we need now is time.....Tomorrow bed I, Hopefully, next to the greenhouse.

Good night all!
