Brick Vinny's Allotment Plot
Posted by: Vinny - 23-05-2020, 11:09 AM - Replies (497)

When I originally moved to my present plot I set up a diary on another forum. This is my second full season on the plot. Now this forum is established I thought I may as well continue my aid to memory here. Cool
If I can find the original piccies from when I took over the plot I will post them. I still intend posting on the other forum so if you visit you may see the same thing twice. Rolleyes

The plot is mostly planted up now and yesterday was too windy to do much. I didn't feel safe in the greenhouse so busied myself with weeding my small maincrop carrot bed. Now that they have germinated, and even though they are in a raised bed, I think I will cover them with the fine mesh I used last year with some success at keeping carrot fly off.. This mesh was bought cheaply off a well know auction site and is designed as a fly screen to cover windows. At
Because I have a bed spare I may sow a second lot of either Tendersnax or Chantenay carrots, not sure yet. Huh

I hope I haven't bored you with this first post and maybe a few piccies in the future will make the thread a bit more interesting.

  Saving Dahlia seeds
Posted by: Admin - 23-05-2020, 09:31 AM - Replies (6)

As the title says "saving dahlia seeds"

When I walk around the plots,  people grow some stunning Dahlias and I thought about pinching a few seed heads at the end of the season.

Does anyone do it? Is it easy?

Thanks

  The Shire.....
Posted by: Broadway - 23-05-2020, 06:00 AM - Replies (158)

Took the plot in June 2019, I believe it had been empty for 3 years - These are private plots and someone has kindly let me use one that used to belong to their dad. The only downside is I suppose they could kick me out anytime, it’s a risk I'm prepared to take however it does limit my spending on the likes of a new shed, PT, etc....

 

Pictures to follow........


Taking stock......

A little progress.....

Is there any way to get to the last post read in a topic? I seem to always be taken to the first post but there could be 6 pages of posts. I’ve tried clicking on green arrow or on the subject itself but no luck.
I should add I’m using my phone!!

  Is lavender considered a herb or a flower.
Posted by: Can the Man - 22-05-2020, 07:55 PM - Replies (9)

I have been growing lavender plants from seeds for the last few months, I want to plant them along the base of my garden fence on the outside of the fence. I ljust be the smell of lavender, and I can trim it every year with the hedge clippers.

I now have 38 plants potted in my nursery and more seeds sowed.
