a quick look around our allotment site..

Lovely blog and pics joanella. Well done all of you!..:o)

Cheers Dylan,thank you..:o)

Haven`t you all done well! All your hard work has certainly paid off. :o)

Lovely produce growing there, Joan, I love the Sweetcorn and it's great how you know the names of the other plot-holders. When we had our allotment we barely saw anyone !

all looks terrific joanella, well done to all of you, i love courgettes, my uncle grows them and you can get round yellow ones to which are lovely, lovely to see how you have done with it all ;o))

A veritable, successful and bountiful harvest, a just reward for all your effort, well done all.

thank you all for your comments,last year most of us didnt do well but this year we have all done ok,maybe it was something to do with the bad winter we had,i dont know..
yes Shirley,all fairly regular,always see someone, a few go on every day even when raining..not me though..
Sandra we called to plot earlier today and Helen has given me a courgette so having it tomorrow..

I should be so lucky to have slugs! Too dry! Mind you my neighbour used to collect snails from her garden walls to eat....I swear I am not joking! Field mice eat my leeks but apart from that the flea beetles have a go at the turnip leaves and thats about it. But water, water, water is the main thing. We have the butts in place because of summer storms and fortunately water bills are not so expensive here as in England.

oh no Trod,i would run a mile at a mouse..i could feed your neighbour for weeks on what we collect in 2 days lol good job you have the water butts too..have you lived in France long ?

Great to see the work you've put into your allotment, Joanella! You have such a different plot from ours!

hi Balcony ,yes its because of the raised beds i think ..we dont do it by the book ..just seen your august blog you have lots going on too well done..:o)

We've been here for just over 6 years. We started off in an old village house with a smallish garden (but lovely soil) and then bought some land in the same village and build a bungalow. So I have about 100 metre x 30 metre of uncultivated field to try and carve up and its slow work. The garden faces south and we get very hot dry periods and then a mad storm which fills the butts in one go. We could probably have half a dozen of them!

sounds lovely,you have had some hard work to do with building your own place..and more hard work ahead with the field..good luck with it..i think we have had enough rain to fill a butt here today lol..:o)
