Month in Pictures - October & November

  October and November were such washout months that I hardly got to the plot at all. When I did go down, the place seemed just a little too grim for photography and so here I am, left with a tiny handful of snaps with which to rustle up a double ”month in pictures” montage. The [...]

Month in Pictures - September 08

It was a bit of a struggle to find enough for photos for Septembers month in pictures. What a wash out it’s been. I’ve hardly made it to the plot at all this month. I’ve started saving a few seeds and amazingly some of them have even dried out enough for storing. In the specimen [...]

Month in Pictures - August 08

Can’t complain about that but it does mean I failed to sow any overwintering crops, hopefully September sown spring cabbages will still be productive.

Month in Pictures - April

Progress report for April What a crazy month its been, at the beginning I was so worried about the broad beans that I resorted to exhaling over them in an attempt to thaw the snow cover and by the end of the month I was blistering in the sun. I’ve planted out loads of the [...]

Month in Pictures - March

Progress report for March. March has been a wash out weather wise and we even managed a bit of snow. A little creative jiggery pokery with my annual leave arrangements has enabled me to make the most of the very occasional dry spell to get on the plot and the results have been satisfying: All [...]
