Day 4 of My Garden Challenge
This is a small job but it makes a BIG difference! When I was looking round the front garden I knew something had to be done to tidy it up a bit. I’m not ready to weed it yet. I like it looking fuller at this time of the year and it stops the neighbour’s…

Day 3 of My Garden Challenge
This is a job I’d been putting off! Day 3 of the garden challenge was meant for a job I’d been putting off for a long time – the polytunnel. I knew it had taken a battering during storm Amy and I’ll be honest, I hadn’t opened the doors for some time. When I did…

Day 2 of My Garden Challenge
Continuing on from yesterday’s post, today is all about tidying and preparing. I have an area in the garden which I’m continuously working on to improve and make it look a little better than before! If you remember, I took out some fruit trees in the back garden that weren’t working for me. I used…

Garden Challenge – 7 Days 7 Jobs: Day 1
I came up with the idea of doing a job a day in the garden, for 7 days. Those little jobs, the ones we keep putting off because we’ll ‘get to it someday’ – you know the ones, right? Problem was – my back. Yes, it had been strained a bit on the Sunday before…

Potatoes!
Been making progress on the allotment plot… On my last visit to the plot, I made a mental list: There was something else but as it was a mental list and not a written down list, I’ve lost it. I couldn’t get the bean canes back up as they had snapped completely at the base.…

Garden & Allotment Get A Little Love!
There is a LOT to catch up on. YES – we finally have our car back and that means the allotment is much easier to get to and I can move the many bags of compost out of the front garden. Before I show you what I found on the latest trip to the allotment,…

Ever heard of the Inversion Matrix?
I came across an interesting video today. I wanted to share the video I found because I found it very intriguing and I’m keen to hear what you think of this guy’s summary of what is happening in the Western world right now. Do you think he is right, or is he talking a lot…

#Alan’s Allotment has burned down
Hello my blogging chums. This is not the post I was going to do today. I realise I haven’t been great at blogging of late, or of reading your posts. This is something I intend to remedy but until then, I have something I want to bring to your attention. Maybe you can help this…

Blog or Website?
I’m confused again. This thought has been swirling round my head for some time so I think the time has come for me to bring it to you to sort out. If you are reading this, the chances are, you have a blog. Lots of us have a blog. We share our thoughts, our photos,…

Seedlings, Slugs & Some Success – Gardening Update
In case you think I’ve been sitting in the sun doing nothing, I thought I’d do a little update about what has been happening garden wise this past week. I’ve tried a couple of different slug traps which used flour, yeast, water and sugar was in one of them. Have to confess, I didn’t have…

Sherlock & Co – Just Brilliant!
I like to bring things to you, dear Reader, which I have found elsewhere in the interwebzones, which have entertained, amused, amazed or educated me in some way. Today, I want to bring something to you which has become something of an obsession of mine. It’s a podcast. Yes, I do a podcast of my…

Veg, Vibes & Chicken Wire!
Allotment update We went to the plot on Sunday even though I wasn’t quite feeling in the mood. I don’t know what it was but I’ve heard it described as ‘meh’. When we got there, I tried to focus on what actually needed done and one thing I had to do was water the broad…
