Fabuloso - we're now starting to bring home fresh veggies on a regular basis. It is exciting that we've been so successful in our first season as allotmenteers.
peas and tender baby carrots
some of the 8+ kilos of potatoes harvested so far - there's plenty more to come!
the sweetcorn is starting to produce cobs. Roll on late August / early September when they'll be ready for picking - yum, yum !!!

Hi thanks for dropping by. I hope you enjoy this blog as I take you through our trials and tribulations as we try to get an allotment and actually grow stuff.
So who are we? Well, I'm Michelle and I had the bright idea of getting an allotment much to the shock of the whole family as I have no interest in domestic gardening whatsoever. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE sitting out and admiring my lovely garden at home but I can't take any of the credit for it. That's all down to my wonderful, ever-patient husband who I refer to as "Cloddigger" in this blog. This isn't a derrogatory name by any means - it merely pays credit to all the digging and heavy work he does as well as preserving his anonymity.
Other random players include our two sons - collectively "The Boyz"; our ageing Black Labrador - "The Dog"; our generous friends Deb and Dan, and my Mum and Dad - "My Folks". There may be others making the odd appearance.
Well that's the end of the Welcome Note, apologies for getting a bit waffly - with any luck my blog entries will be more interesting!!! Oh, and please feel free to leave comments by clicking on the "scraps in the compost bin" link at the end of each post.
Lovely grub.
