It’s been a little over a year since my last blog post; it was never my intention to take a break but after transitioning to full-time work (I work part-time for a care company and part-time for myself), it’s the way that things panned out.
The Recycled Greenhouse
We have taken this opportunity (it’s fairly empty) to restrengthen and recover. Well, when I say recover I mean to make use of all the odds and sods bits of plastic and glass we have. Including an old patio door, old shower doors and abandoned greenhouse parts.

It’s not essential to have a shed at the allotment, but it certainly helps to have a place to keep your tools (we don’t leave anything valuable in ours). A shed can also become a place to retreat from the showers or just tot sit, have a cuppa and make plans!

Coping with an Allotment & an Injury!
It’s been four months since I finished my tea and grabbed a slice of cheesecake to eat in front of the tv (yes very healthy, I know). As I bent down to sit, my left knee gave way under me as my kneecap dislocated.
Easter Ground Preparations
We are not particularly big fans of either method of dig or no dig and are pretty open minded to both still, continuing to experiment as we go along, this gives us somewhat of a patchwork plot, some covered with a layer of organic matter for the winter, some parts covered with plastic and membrane and others simply winter dug over. I quite like the variety.
Let’s get this party started!
So spring is finally here and after so much snow, it couldn’t be more welcome.
