A day-to-day guide to creating an allotment garden from a starting point of absolutely no knowledge and no experience.
Sunday, August 29, 2004
A quick check of this blog shows that it is time to feed the tomato plants again. I dash down for half-an-hour and feed the tomatoes and finish the majority of the weeding among the potato plants. Bind weed had really taken over here so it is nice to get it looking a bit more ordered. Most of the haulms of the potato plants are now dead and I cut all the worst ones off. The plot looks a lot better for it. Next weekend is the inter-allotment competition and the chairman is asking for us all to offer some produce. I might give them a squash and a couple of courgettes. We eat our first squash and French beans for dinner tonight. The beans are lovely - the squash is a little tasteless. Maybe the ones left to grow a bit longer will be better.
