Got a lovely Callaway BJ-1 Putter yesterday from the charity shop yesterday. Might have to give it a go on the golf course or might just put it straight onto eBay!

Sat 18th / Sun 19th February 2023 - Rotivation Station
Phil got hold of a second hand rotovator for about the same price as hiring one from a popular building supplies firm in Ashbourne. So after a bit of a practice we got to rotovating the plot.
A Third Allotment!
On 14th January 2023 we were offered a free plot on someone's land who could no longer garden on it. So we went and had a look and as we had had a crappy year with our old allotments we thought we'd go for it.
This is what it looked like Mid Jan 2023.

Summer 2016 - all quiet on the western front...
Summer 2016
Been mega busy. Fixed water butt on plot 7. Put pavers down on plot 7. Put new netting under Shed 7 after receiving a notice from the committee. Harvested tons and tons. Had potato blight - chopped down to ground next year getting a blight resistant variety, Experimenting with a second lot of spuds in a similiar spot to the first earlies.

Have put some seed potatoes into potato bags for Xmas - once tomatoes are done these will be moved into Greenhouse is the plan.

April 2016 Getting Busy
Sunday 3rd April
On plot for about five hours digging in muck, absolutely knackered. Got some first earlies in a bed on Plot 13 so a little bit of progress. Got a metre squared bed sorted out with strawberry runners which is good'ish. Some pesky beastie is digging up the recent onions that went into a patch on number 7 - very irritating.

Got bean row taken down as that's going to be on one of the beds at the bottom this year. am going to have to mow and what have you real soon. Got another bed at the side cleared - got five bags of weeds taken to the recycling centre. Got the raspberry patch all weeded as much as possible and plenty of muck chucked on.

Not a lot to report. Lots going on in the greenhouse but only got down to the lotty on a couple of occasions. The main one being to take delivery of a couple of tons of manure.
