Gardening holds rich rewards as we know, and we also know it requires effort and putting in the time or nature soon takes control and your allotment will revert back to the field it once was..
Remember this
This piece is where we had the butternut Squash last year.. The water system 🙂 , still in place.. And has still to be cleared and sorted.. And that rickety old shed is still standing despite the high winds.. but this summer it will definitely come down..
And yes.. I did dig all that piece myself.. Hubby snook up and shouted as I looked up.. He snapped it .. 😉 So no laughing. 😉
Spring time is when many take on new plots but for many new allotmenteers they can be put off with the prospect of digging their first ploughed furrow which when a plot has been neglected for years looks like a field..
So our Allotments offer to plough it up for them. But once ploughed it requires tender loving care.. And years of getting all the twitch that is the grass and bind-weed out. As well as horse-tail which roots break which create more to grow. And you will never get rid of the billions of seeds you unearth each time you dig it afresh… So you have to keep on top of things. Because Mother Nature Gives, but she soon reclaims what is hers.. 😉
The green house was cleaned and my husband put the grow bags in and filled up the pots with more compost. securing the canes in readiness for the tomatoes
This is the greenhouse in the allotments.. my hubby got them all ready over the Easter weekend and now the tomatoes are in..Photos next time of them growing..
You can see the Leeks and the rainbow chard in the corner.. Still waiting to go into the cold frame..
Remember the holes that were limed for the cabbages. Well now the cabbages are in.. They are covered up as we have a lot of wood-pigeon who just love young cabbage leaves..
Planting cabbages
Hubby planting out cabbages in those limed holes of the other week. They are watered in and then covered.. He will heal them in firmer in a few weeks once the roots get a firmer grip.. This helps get a tighter cabbage or sprout..
Here you can see the Pea rows.. A few misses which I put more seeds into and watered.. And that kneeler is a blessing. to my knees..
These are our apple trees.. I forget which is the eater and cooker.. We only got the 5 apples on one last year… So looking forward this year to trying both.
Below you can see the Gladioli small corms I left in from two years ago now sprouting.. Hopefully they may flower this year.
Here our apple trees a cooker and an eater have more blossom this year
Close view of apple blossoms..
These seeds were taken out of the pumpkin we used for Halloween.. I dried around 20 of them.. We set 6 and all have germinated
Now I am usually the one behind the camera and its a rarity that my hubby likes to get in front of the camera. But when I suggested a selfie of the both of us he happily agreed. So I set the camera up on the horizontol trellis of the Loganberry fruit bushes
In the foreground are the Autumn fruiting Raspberries and the tall Blue berries, .. The loganberries are on the framework and behind those are the raspberry canes that fruit early summer.
And below is the sequence of takes.. These were taken in early morning and I had my Woolley hat on as it had been frosty early morning.. And was blowing a cool wind.
The camera had a 10 Second timer.. So I had to run..
Now this is a shot I was trying with the timer on my small hand-held digital camera. Its timer is for 10 seconds.. ( I was supposed to be in the shot. ) I didn’t run fast enough
Second attempt.. Hubby was laughing counting down from 10 to Zero.. I nearly made it.. as he passed me my cuppa..
Third time Lucky.. Only Just.
Yayyyyyyy……. Lots of laughs… I ran at super speed around the loganberry bushes to sit down looking all relaxed…
🙂 Lots of laughter and Fun with this Selfie..
Cheers! And Happy Gardening! Until next time.

I love reading garden posts like this. Full of fun, productivity and action towards the harvest in the future. That’s what it’s all about. Enriching your life with your choices rather than making poor life choices that will come back to bite you. We share a common love of gardening and funny photo moments Sue. I filmed Earl on the table the other day. The little bugger hopped onto Steve’s chair when he vacated it (almost immediately) and straight up onto the table whereby he sniffed all of my seeds that I collected and am drying out to save (and found them wanting I might add), wandered around and checked out all of our mugs and plates to see if there was anything worth eating (again, nothing in his honest opinion) and then realised that he was going to have to lay the jam on pretty thickly with ‘ma’ as she was watching his progression across the kitchen table with ‘that’ look in her eye so he walked over to where I was filming and mugged at the camera. We put it on Youtube and he is as proud as punch to be on the table and now famous. He wants his bone privileges back! 😉 Here’s the link to the video if you would like to watch it…

Hey Sue 🙂
A beautiful day here in Wales inspired me out the front door and off for a wander. A few minutes later and here I was, chuckling like a crow on a swinging gate as I sat reading your post.
Indeed I asked for action shots and that’s exactly what you delivered. lol 🙂 I stand corrected in my assessment, you have dug for Derbyshire there Sue, the pumpkin patch restored to former glory. I do like the outfit, and I would have dressed similarly, perhaps even donning a pair of sunglasses for disguise! 🙂 The last three photos were excellent….the laughter present in every facet. So pleased you made it around the Loganberry Bush and set pose for the shutter. The smile on your faces seems to tell me everything about how much you enjoy it there and the love you both share together. Perfect 🙂
I know how the allotment sometimes leaves you aching, but I have to say Sue, that whenever I read your posts regarding your labour of love, I sense the most sincere attachment to both earth and duty. You flow into ‘her’ as she flows into you. There is no separation, only woman and nature in harmony.
Please don’t lose the shed…it has an antiquated rustic charm all of it’s own. I like it scruffy, used, lived in, weathered, and held together by string and a prayer. Or maybe that’s just the tramp in me taking over and talking out loud, again 🙂
You’ll be anticipating a bumper crop this year Sue, apples included I hope. Just let me know if you need hands on deck come harvest time and I’ll send the Scarecrows. I heard their rather good at gathering.
Well late is the hour and I’ll leave you to unwind on this balmy spring evening and wish you well for the remainder of the weekend.
As always my friend, take good care of you, and of one and all. Warmest best wishes and brightest blessings. Nos da.

Hey Sue,
The action shots made the post enchanting Sue 🙂 ‘Lean-to’ is a delightful name for an assemblage of accumulated parts, tarpaulin and doorways that lead nowhere and yet open everywhere (I am reminded of the Russell Hoban, David Anderson surreal Animation, ‘Door’ : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Skl-c2PMmOI )
Very pleased to hear the old shed will live on in new guise as part of the Summer house 🙂 The allotment appears to be becoming very much a home away from home. And I know you love there, so all good.

Hey Sue,
lol 🙂 indeed the animation is a little trippy he said.
Russell Hoban is an excellent writer, his works span many genres, including fantasy, science fiction, mainstream fiction, magical realism, poetry, and children’s books. My favourites are: Amaryllis Night and Day, Fremder, and Angelica’s Grotto. If you’ve never read him, give it ago, you may enjoy it.
I wasn’t sure if you misspelt my name for a reason….and so I looked up the variant as used. The name in your comment is derived from DEORWINE, Anglo-Saxon, and derived from the Old English elements deor “dear” and wine “friend”….either ‘friend of the deer’, or ‘gifted friend.’ I thought that rather nice on both counts, thank you 🙂
I couldn’t resist taking another trip through the doors of the film, so whilst one stands ajar, I should take advantage and step through….
Until next time. Take care of you and one and all.

Oh no, another fallen scarecrow! Perhaps he can be rebuilt, put back together again like they did in the Wizard of Oz 🙂
I never comment on sites with the intention of promoting my blog, I come here because I choose to. And in that regard, there is never an obligation to visit, and certainly never a time constraint to come by…Blogs aren’t going anywhere! Should you come by chez Dewin, it’ll be wonderful to see you as always.
Your weather sounds better than ours here in soggy Wales. The rain has never quite gone away all day and a thick blanket of light grey cloud is creating humid conditions. I don’t know if I should don a pair of bathers or grab an umbrella, or perhaps do both rather than sweat it out in the house drinking ice cold water! 🙂
Curiously Sue, I too started the day watching the sea-gulls and crows for an hour or two very early on this morning around 5am. There’s not many flying now, but a group of chattering pigeons has gathered as usual on the rooftop opposite the flat…one of whom, the clever one, has its wing above its head like an umbrella fending off the rain. It’s small wonders such as that which have me adore Nature and the mystery at her heart.
I’ll drop a quick line in reply to your generous comment on Love Over Fear, and leave you to the peace and tranquillity of your inner thoughts and dreaming pastime.

I went willingly, it seemed the right thing to do 🙂
Regarding cutbacks, these are deeply troubling days. Just been watching a video of the PM speaking about the Naylor Report…a resort that would have the conservative government spend £10 billion on selling off NHS Assets to private American companies. It is just the start of a descent into blackness.

Best Wishes to you both.

I know from past posts of your flowers Ian how you love your gardening.. We are very fortunate I know to have such a plot.. So many people do not even have a balcony .. And how they live in those high tower blocks I do not know.. But we each adapt to what we have.. In the mean time Ian you are welcome to come sit in the shade of your armchair and over-view the weeding.. 🙂 And I will brew a cuppa in the shed from time to time.. Sorry no Fosters on Chill.. 🙂

With all of those flowers, you need honey bees! Such an inspiration Sue. I didnt do much gardening last year so I am anxious to do more this year. Seeing your photos is encouraging. I loved the set of you and your hubby. Just adorable and made me smile.
