Purple Sweet Pea February Allotment Update Episode 51


At The Plot With the Hubby.

It was the last few days of the half term week and i was desperate to get down the plot with the husband.
Both the boys wanted to go round Nannies so the husband and i took the opportunity to get some time in at the plot. 

We made good use of the time and manages to sow spinach, cauliflower and basil in the polytunnel. I sowed some hardy broad beans in to the ground and the husband manage to plant the garlic, I even found the time to plant 3 more fruit bushes and weed over a few of the beds. If you want to take a look at our progress i've included a link to the video below.

Half Term Week

Hurahhh its finally half term, I was hoping to get down the plot for a few days this week but my youngest is ill so we will have to make do with sorting seeds out at home and sowing with my eldest.
We ran out of board bean seed after sowing all of them last year so we ordered some from Seed Parade. Joey and I enjoyed receiving these in the post. There is something about seeds that most of us gardeners love from the sound they make in the packet to seeing them come to life. 


I also got chance to relax one evening with a glass of red once the boys were in bed to sow my chillies. I didn't have much luck last year. I think it was something to do with not enough heat and the pots been too small but I will try again this year.


I hope you get the chance to check out our videos, we are now over 300 subscribers with more joining each day...

Take care Claire and the boys.

January Update

So its been a while since I posted. We've been busy pottering at the plot, but it gets too cold for the boys, thankfully we have our lovely new shed for a quick warm, cup of tea and a snack. 
Hope you take the time to view our latest update. I've planted garlic, mint, chives and parsley in our new herb garden. 
Bulbs are coming through nicely now, can't wait for the spring to reveal some colour.
