Lollyxx's Outbox

I think we may have identified it... the previous holder used to dig in green manure with mustard seed in it, so thats what it could be....

it does - they're all looking good so far... can't wait to eat it!!

yes thanks we had an excellent time... center parcs for a week, the kids wore us out though!!!!

it is scary how quickly things grow.... its exciting!

sorry... I should have said.. I put netting over them after taking the piccie... but my camera had run out of battery!

Thanks very much!

Thanks, nowhere warm, we're off to centreparcs at longleat for a week! Can't wait!!

Thats great thanks!! I've put the raspberries in and will do the strawbs when I come back from hols!

Thansk for this - I'll be giving it a go later in the year!

Wow, thats not good.... bet there were lots of you feeling the same. Thanks for the tip though - its a good one!!!

Thanks very much - off to search now! Will have to check my soil, but could I plant them in the ground within a pot, the plot it very open and I'm worried they may get blown over if they're just standing in a pot...

LOL, he hasn't found any woodlice yet - that could be interesting!!

Thanks that would be great.... I am so new to this!! I have planted a lot of stuff, taking my lead from other plot holders and from the books / sites I've been on... I'm not sure what will grow and what won't but hey - we'll see!! I've planted my potatoes, they had huge sprouts on already! I have earthed them up a lot to keep them warm, so fingers crossed. Although we've had some frost since, they have been quite light ones so hoping they haven't done too much damage!
I need to invest in a cold frame / some cloches for next winter I think, they would be very helpful I think!

I've never done it before, so its all new new to me.. I'm very scared nothing will grow!

We took on an allotment 3 weeks ago, and we have basically just dug it over with a fork and spade. We are lucky though that it wasn't too badly overgrown, just lots of crouch grass, bind weed, docks and dandelions! Our soil is quite light though, not clay based so it hasn't been too bad to dig out...

Fab thanks for the tip... will do!

Thanks all, we have been working hard! I'm just about to add todays entry!
