  1. Work, illness, and life have gotten the way, and I've not been at the allotment in three weeks. I knew it was going to be bad, but I had no other plans today, so I rocked up with snacks, sugary drinks, and a will to see it through. 5+ hours of playing "is this a weed or one of my seeds" (sadly, I lost very badly at the related game of weed or parsnip), and order has been restored! I'm going to hurt tomorrow

  6. For some reason I've been up since 4.30. By 6am I was at the allotment. I got the rest of my strawberries in, sow some more seeds and got started on clearing another plot-holder's site because they've damaged their back and aren't able to do it. I didn't see a soul, just birds and cats and was home by 11am. It's early in the season and it's small patch of ground but it already means so much to me to have it to go to

  11. Made it to the allotment for an hour this evening and it rained for 53 minutes of that. Got some things in the soil and did a bit of tidying round. Cut back a thorny bush at the side and found a pot of raspberry canes, win!

  12. Made it to the allotment today to put the first plants in the ground. The sun was warm, the birds were chirping happily away, and the time passed peacefully. I even got to harvest some sage and the first 500g of rhubarb for tomorrow's dinner.

  17. While I'm in a call about the horrors of adult abuse, here is a photo of a really big earthworm. I have pretty small feet but this guy was somewhere in the 30-40cm range.

  19. Finally finished weeding the raised bed and it felt good. Then I started laying out the paths I'd decided on and realised that the bed was actually 120cm (4ft) longer than I was told. This is excellent news, obviously, but now the plan needs a little revision.

  21. I've spent the day potting on seedlings, giving everyone a good watering and getting the next batch of seeds sown. We heard this week that the water has been turned on at the allotment so now the fun can truly begin!

  26. Finally sat down to work out a rough plan for the raised bed. I need something that is easy, won't need daily tending, but will be productive. I work full time, have chronic pain, have several time-hungry hobbies, and am a bus ride away. Square Foot gardening isn't a new concept; the book was on my dad's bookshelf when I was a kid. The 15x8 bed should be able to provide the majority of my veg for summer-winter.

  31. It's been pretty miserable most of the day weather wise, so rather than head to the allotment, I got on with potting on and sowing the next round of seeds. As I got to the end of it, the sun came out... Scotland be Scotland, especially in spring :blobuwu:

  32. First trip this month brought on by the sunshine and an uptick on the capacity of brain goblins. The plan had only been to go for an hour, but it turned into four. Still a bit to-do, but I think one more trip should have it in shape for the planting to start.

  33. First day, just a wee dodder about getting a feel for it and beginning to dig out the remains of last season's plants. Found an unexpected crop of Jerusalem artichokes, scavenged some tarps to cover for a couple weeks/months and gave a substantial donation to the compost heap. More to do next weekend but with our daylight hours still being so short here, it'll be a while before there's a lot of progress.
