update

i had the week off last week and though it rained all week i dug the plot like my life depended on it, here are some progress pictures





then we are on the home straight :yess:






thats all for the moment

 

no been lucky there john it is nice soil but i have worked some compost into it too not as much as i would have liked but time factor and lack of composting that has been previously been done

 

Your soil is streets better than mine - which makes your current task a tad easier I expect

 

it does make it easier once you get it started

they will be a bigger pleasure to dig next year now that i have made some paths and the soil wont be compacted by it being walked on

 

well earlies are in up allotment and most of the plot is dug ready to go, spending the day up there tomorrow to hope fully finish the last of it off !

 

Well done Kaz! You've obviously worked like a trojan. Has your tenant-in-common (well, I couldn't think of another name) been helping or even visited lately? And did you sort out the guy who was trampling all over the plot? :nono:

 

I wish you had photos of when you first arrived a matter of weeks ago, to this magnificent allotment with beds
You must have worked like a Trojan

lol tenant in common is called Ray, he has been up a few times but not done much i did get him to put some onion sets in the other day though, he doesnt seem to have the passion or the stamina for the allotment mind you I am not complaining I havent seen him this week though

funnily enough the last time the Ray was there the neighbour complained tongue in cheek that the LITTLE WOMAN had cut off his short cut ( i had told Ray) Ray just smiled and said ah well if the BOSS says no i guess its NO i was creased and the neighbour didnt know where to look !

Ray has brought me up a camp stove and a kettle too :D

 

have a look on my blog there are some pics there of what it looked like 3 weeks ago Kaz's Place

 

the view down the plot on feb 7th



and this week

 

Just checking: This early spuds? Already planted in the ground?

If so I reckon that's early for earlies (as in "too early").

Hopefully I'm mistaken.

 

planted 8 inches down under plastic and have fleece if frost is expected


is that not good ? i have done this previously with no problems
