Here I am finishing off the planting and netting of my peas.
I put net round them as the pigeons round here are quite greedy when it comes to succulent greens.
As you can see the ground is quite wet and muddy. It has rained all day on and off in heavy bursts. I have been doing my best to dodge them. I’m also thoroughly cold as the wind whips across the allotments like a Siberian tiger tail. Brrrrr.
I noticed that BBC Gardener’s World have Joe Swift taking on an allotment this year. I also notice that his is flat. He also has a free! Yes, free scrape of the surface and free wood chips and compost! I must be living in another country as we get nothing free from our council. We’ve paid for everything, including the new gate and lock and some hard standing for cars.
Sometimes I wonder at TV and the way they make the rest of us feel like second class citizens. They should ask one of us to secretly film the reality of allotments.
