Hello 2013 I hope this is going to be a great one ! not that I'm complaining about last year ! other than the weather playing havoc with the growing season on the allotment.
I have been to my plot today to take kitchen waste to feed my thousands of worms in the two compost bins up there. I kid you not on the number of worms ! they are amazing and have munched their way through all the rubbish over the last couple of months and I now have one bin that has some pretty darn good compost. I never thought I would get excited over worms and compost! but that's what having an allotment does to you.
I have to be totally honest and say that my interest after 4 years was waning a bit ! but speaking to others it seems most of us go through this at some stage. However I think I have got some of my old enthusiasm back and I'm already planning what I want to grow this year.
If you haven't already checked out Victoriana Nurseries (link on the side of my blog) please do so as Stephen has a good stock of everything you need. I have to get my own order in soon otherwise I will be behind before I know it.
As there isn't anything worth taking a photograph of at this time I thought I would post myself a reminder of just how good my harvests were last year lest I forget !!
And the flowers were amazing ! Ohhhhh I really am getting into it all again just remembering all the flowers I picked each time I went to the plot.
I hope you are all looking forward to this years planning and planting.
All the best for this year
