digging for victory...

and this is the allotment so far -







autumn 2007 ready to start again....

+ some exciting produce.





paul keeps saying that 'Kent is the new Tuscany'!

this is an olive tree by the way.

disaster strikes March 10th 2008 - the shed crumples

don't worry by Easter we shall be up and running again....



here it is as good as new, thanks to Colin and Dave who lent Paul a hand.


another new year and lots to do......



lovely apple blossom this year



June 2008 - mostly flowers so far







It is now mid August 2008 and this year we have had a glut of courgettes

- best recipe so far is sliced in chilli tempura batter!

meanwhile, here are some mystery beans - they started off as dwarf beans

but we left them as they were a bit stringy and this is what popped out.

I think they are a sort of 'borlotti' bean and so will try them cooked up.

It measures 22"/53cms. long and weighs in at 4.195kg.

This started as a courgette but we were away for a few days and came back to this!

allotment apples july 2009

the forget-me-nots have died down now and have made way for the lavender.

we have two apple trees, one is a bramley and one is an eating apple - cannot remember what!

there is also an ancient quince tree near the stream.

We are keen to get some beehives on the allotments (January - one has appeared)

August 2009...

onions have been spectacular

I am learning to string them up...

JANUARY 2010

just visited plot since the harsh snowy winter - all seems fine!

Broad beans planted in November have sprouted and should be more resistent to pests.

Just pruned apple trees- some useful videos on the web to show how to do it!
