Greetings, This year I have decided to concentrate on just two types of well known potato's  - Maris Peer and King Edwards.

As you can see the Maris are ready to be planted this weekend, so fingers crossed for some semi OK weather ! Plus if it is good I am going to chance putting in a short row of Marrowfat peas as Mrs Seven adores them in mash !

Photo bonanza

Hi there, Still cant do all that much at the moment apart from pick at the odd weed and water the veggies.

I took some photos to cheer me up, everything is growing so fast !

.

Ouchie.

Beans beans good for your heart...

Well it is going to be an interesting few weeks, due to a domestic mishap (New mattress), a trip to the GP led on to a trip to hospital and that I have fractured a rib!

Boy it hurts. Pain management is the only offer I have while it will take 6-8 weeks to heal fully and I am very glad I did all the heavy digging months ago on the allotment as there is no way in hell will I be able to swing a spade or fork in anger for at least two months.

I cannot even put on my socks with out the better half helping !
That been said I did venture down and took a risk in planting out the beans. I think they are hardy enough to survive for the next few weeks. I will keep the sweetcorn however in the potting shed for another fortnight taking them out for a few hours to harden off before dropping them in the plot as the loss of the shed beside me will mean they will be more exposed than last year and I want to give them the best chance of giving a large crop this year.

Well that's it for now, going to be resting a lot with my feet up, so I think simple potting on and succession seedlings will be my lot for a while, unless I can convince the boss to do some heavy work , other than ice cream and teas !

Grow grow grow.

Hey there, a quick update on some tomato,Chili and lettuce seedlings that I had in the guest bedroom that I left on the window above the radiator :!

Time to transfer them to their own little pots!

I hope they enjoy the new homes and flourish .

Digging the plot yesterday I realised that I will have to build some sort of wire cage tops for the beds as I noted local wildlife had attempted to dig little holes in the beds. I think some 3,1 bits of wood and wire netting stapled on top should do the trick
