Hello fellow allotmenteers

Though I must admit that Allotmenteer.co.uk can be said to bear evidence to the contrary - I’m still around - and well!

It’s just that life is very busy for me at the moment - as I’m sure you can appreciate with me being a gardener. This, together with looking after my family and trying to keep up with my plot takes up most of my time, and I have to say that after a busy day - sitting in front of my computer isn’t a top priority.

That being said - I will be back and strong as soon as things calm down a bit - and I’m gathering loads of information that I’m going to put up on the site later on.

On my plot I’ve put in my squash, marrows, potatoes, and planted out my sweetcorn and tomatoes over the last couple of weeks. My main problem is that I didn’t get all the digging done I wanted to in spring - but I’m adamant that my whole plot gets dug over the same during this season - so I’m quite literally putting seeds and plants in as I dig along.

Puts a bit of extra pressure on myself - but if it’s worth doing (and it certainly is) - it’s worth doing properly! This has always been my philosophy, and I don’t see any need to change that just now.

So as soon as things calm down a bit - and I’m sure they will - I’ll be back with a vengeance. Gives you something to look forward to
