Week 43
1st December – 7th December 2008
The first week of last month of this year, forcasting cold frosty at the end of this week, pop down couples time to the plot do some picking of sprouts and carrots……
Highlights of this week
Did some more pickings beside the funny look carrot, B always said that home grown carrots are sweeter than the shop bought one ….. dug up the biggest minicol cabbage, picked some brussel sprouts and there are more growing from my four brussel plants. I have noticed the garlic bulbs which I have sowed couple weeks ago have shooted up to brave the cold weather …..well done garlic. While I was at the plot I was being entertained by a clever fox, he was getting sun bathing one minute and the next jumped up to the thicket of a tree after the pigeons and magpies for his tea…. obviously the fox has missed a pair of wings…..

Hi Virginia,
.I am amazed at your wonderful skill in growing vegetables.They look so succulent and you inspire me to do something similiar. These allotments sound like an interesting idea. They don’t do this in Australia as far as I know. I’d love to be at your place for Christmas looking at the great food you cook. Merry Christmas.
Hi Ruth
Thank you for your nice comment, it is great pleasure to hear from you through this link. Allotmenting is really great fun and am absolutely enjoy it. Yes in England this sort of back to nature activity is very popular and each county have lands rent to grower, some places even have a long waiting list for people to enlist the land. I believe you are a good cook too. Merry Christmas to you all.
