Moving sundries

I didn't realise quite how much we'd accumulated in 18 months. Everything had to be carried and barrowed to 37. Uphill and on the rough stoned road the 322 paces between plots seemed to get further with each heavy load.

Upsizing, moving from plot 5 to plot 37

After all the hard work we've decided to move allotment. Plot 37 is on the same site but at 500 square metres is almost twice the size of plot 5.

October

The largest of the Turk's Turban squash is probably ripe enough to eat but still needs to cure more for storage.

August

Didn't think to measure the sunflowers until the heads had grown so big they hung down with the weight. At that point the tallest was 11' 8". I reckon they were taller in this photo.

Spaghetti squash are doing well

 As are the Turk's Turbans

Bee Flowers

Flowers planted to help the bees seem to be working well now and make an appealing front to the plot.

One Year Today

Turning plot five around in the last twelve months has been fun and a challenge. In total we made 27 trips to the tip, dug in over four tons of rotted stable muck and recently started using the compost from our first bay.

Beans in

 Poles are strung and bean seeds are in. Have gone for Stenner runners with Blue Lake and Cobra French climbers.
