My allotment progress

IMHO I would move the frames further apart, Enough so you can Kneel between them

 

Hi its a 2ft gap roughly (probably doesn't look it) which looking in books etc is the basic standard I understand, it's also the same gap I have used on the ones at home just nicely fits from knee to foot let's just hope my shins don't start growing lol

Thanks, James

 

Hi we've had a nice couple of days here in Derby hope it lasts for the weekend, I won't be holding my breath on that one hahaha.

Here is a quick update, changed the number plate for one She who must be obeyed did 77B
Five of six in now can you guess which I have let the kids use??
Also got a few things in to wanted to get things in asap

Thanks for looking, James

 

Hi top end all done, got a few veggies started some quick growing ones and some hardy ones for spring like cabbage, and the obligatory Christmas spuds.

Thanks for looking...

 

You can always plant a few radishes now, as they grow so quickly, and stuff like garlic in the autumn for next year ....

 

Yep got those they seem to be doing quite well, garlic and onions are on the way set to arrive in September some time.

Hello all how are we?

Not done an update for a while due to so so weather and a holiday but things are going well and the plants are getting there.
I have cleared another section the other side of the apples for another 2 raised beds to go in, then I plan on a poly tunnel to go in ...

 

Looking good, whats the M, H and B boxes?

 

Hi thanks it's the kids raised beds 3x3 ft for Henry, Bethany and Maxwell
Just a little spot for each

 

@Jimb0b you really have worked hard and its paid off BIG thumbs up- its a credit to you all- you must be so pleased Particularly love the Kiddie plots fantastic to get them interested early, how wonderful for them to experience choosing, sowing, growing, picking, cooking and eating their own produce that's what most Gardeners remember is gardening at an early age - most never forget and return to it when the time is right And naturally your other half was right about the number plate change - that's my favorite change OF course

 

That's a lovely idea @Jimb0b they will have so much fun, my two helped dig up potatoes a few weeks back, they absolutely loved it! I thought it was to do with what's going in there.. sorry for being nosey!

 

Hi how we all doing?
Another quick update...putting wood chip in between and a picture of a visitor while I was clearing the strawberries out to make way for the polly tunnel

 

Yay first produce that we have sown and grown on our allotment
A nice handful of radishes bit big really but were only tiny a couple of weeks back
Still very nice

 

You should be proud of yourselves
look what has been achieved in such a short space of time
Roll on 2018

Phew what a day arrived at the plot at 09:00 this morning and other than a quick walk home for dinner I didn’t leave till 5:00 tonight
But phase 3 is well underway shed broken up and wood treated, back of shed part cleared and hoops on raised beds...
