Vegetable Allotment Plot

My journal of allotmenting…

Week 23

11 July – 18 July 2008

The ‘Riverside Retreat’ @ Malpas, Truro is our holiday staying place this time, very peaceful area with river Fal flowing along, beautiful greenery around and especially all the wild lives captured by my binoculars…..herons, swallows, eagles and many more…… Here are some of the prints that I capture this holiday breaks….

Riverside Retreat

Truro Cathedral

We went to visit the famous Truro Cathedral, it is really worth for the most, as it is really awesome, impressive and beautiful…… I can’t take all these picture as the experts did, so check this out, Truro Cathedral and there are many more beautiful photos…..

When we left the Cathedral, there we noticed the vibrate voice sounding outside and that was from……..

Crantock Beach

It seems this is our favourite beach all these years down south, so far we have left years of our foot prints and leg hair……..

We did have a brief break this time, caught a bit of sun, breathe in lots of sea air, have a dip into the sea water, see a few wildlife there, visit some impressive places, enjoy the good food there too… real Cornish pasties and sea food…. yum yum.

  3. Hi Again Virginia,
    I have been through the whole of your blog and found it fascinating. The idea of growing most of your own food is wonderful.
    We have 2 acres here in Wellington, Somerset and its all grass, but I suppose due to my job I have never got round to using any of the land we have.
    I have just retired as a Television cameraman in News, Features and Documentaries I never had the time as I travelled all over the world, so now, because I have never done this sort of thing it would take too long to get into it. None the less you are making full use of your piece of land (allotment) as I read some of your friends are as well.
    Well done to you. Buying vegetables from a supermarket must be the worst thing I do.
    I have complete admiration for you, tending to and growing all your own.

    Heiko

    • I nearly drown by your kind and lovely compliment comments… as you can see this is my second year attempt on this growing saga, lots of ups and downs but definately a good way to labour about and I prepare to put in the rest of my life to experience on this field…. When you mention buying vegetables from supermarket I can definately tell the difference with my own grown because I can ’smell the taste’.
      By the way, if you ask me to start with 2 acres of land to a productive plot, it is a daunting task and I prefer to start with about 6 x 7 metre of areas first two years and bit by bit venture further. Anyway there are lots of experts and informs online, shoping from seeds to all kinds of gedgets…
      I have a browse on your blog, amazing to see all the lovely photos you made…. you’ve got another admirer..
