Can you belive it....... Actually do something usefull (planted onion sets) then the tide comes over and half have been washed away !!!!!!! At least the hens got to higner ground in time. With any luck, the water will have subsided by the weekend and i can start again....
Well, i've planted 140 onion sets but thats about it! Some one has knicked my scaffold planks that i was going to use for the long cold frame, so that idea is on hold. The 4 table birds are getting extreamly fat, which i suppose is a good thing for me but not for their poor legs!
Summer 2004 It was decided (over a couple of beers) that we would get an allotment. Having a young child had brought to our attention all the additives/chemicals/nasties that can be found on and in foods. Growing our own seemed the best way to eat the right stuff as fresh and natural as possible, how hard can it be….
Jan 2005 we acquired our plot, this was split into two, half for veg the other for hens. The year brought many eggs but little veg. who said growing was easy…! A couple of bags of potatoes, the odd tomato and a sweet pepper!
Summer 2006 still plenty of eggs, a few more spuds, tomatoes, sweet peppers, sweetcorn, onions and garlic have been harvested but still the weeds rule….!
Let the battle continue………
