I PLANTED A BUCKET FULL (LITERALLY) OF BULBS LAST NOVEMBER IN MY PLOT , BOG END.
IVE NOTICED THE ODD PATCH POPPING UP ON ONE SIDE OF MY PLOT BUT NOT THE OTHER. THINK THE REST HAVE ROTTED , BEEN A TERRIBLE YEAR FOR GARDENERS AND ALLOTMENTERS.
MY PLOT IS NEXT TO A RAISED ONE , SO I GET EXTRA RAINWATER - THANKS FOR THAT. THO IF WE EVER GET A HOT SUMMER IL PROBABLY BE GRATEFUL.7
TODAY I KNOCKED TOGETHER ANOTHER RAISED BED FRAME. SUPPLIED BY MY LOVEY ALLOTMENT PAL BOB BAXTER. I HAVE TO WAIT TIL MARCH THO TO FILL IT.
I SAY 'KNOCKED TOGETHER' BECAUSE I USED MY HANDY TOOLS - 3 INCH NAILS AND A HAMMER.
IL BE TRUTHFUL..THEYRE QUICKER THAN SCREWS AND LESS OF A HASSLE.BUT I DO USE SCREWS FOR SECURITY ..HINGES AND LOCKS ETC AND THEN I FILL IN THE THREADS WITH NO NAILS OR SUPER GLUE.SO THEYRE PRETTY PERMANENT.
IM A LAZY DIY-ER. I TRY HARD BUT END UP DOING THINGS THE QUICK AND EASY WAY.
I POTTED UP SOME SEEDS FOR MY GREENHOUSE TOO. TOMATOES AND LEEKS. I ALSO PLANTED OUT SOME SPRING ONON SEEDS DIRECTLY INTO MY ONION AND GARLIC BED.
COME NEXT MONTH THERES A PLETHORA (LOVE THAT WORD ) OF SEEDS IN MY SHED TO START OFF IN MY GREENHOUSE.
THINK IL BE GIVING STUFF AWAY IF IM LUCKY. FINGERS CROSSED.
