Week 50 – Year 2
18th January – 24th January 2010
A bitterly cold but dry week, walked to the allotment few times this week, ….. to empty the compost materials there and do a bit of digging in… get some food for the worms….
Bottle Windmills
While there is a quiet period for allotment activities, is the time for making some preparation gadgets …. here are some plastic bottle windmills that I made for putting out at the allotment later on the year….
Leaf Molds
During the week I have eventually dug out the last Brussels Sprouts, tidy up the canes and net… decided to dig in the leaf molds and let the coming frosty weather do the job… will grow another trial Brussels Sprouts in the coming months….
Parsnip Chips
Still a bucketful of Parsnips left in the Garage, decided to get one for the chips, here I picked a twin Parsnip and have a tray of chips to enjoy… yum yum
Seed Potatoes
I know I have to let the ground a rest this year and that is not growing too many potatoes… not to exhaust the goodies of the ground …. so here is the little variety of seeds bought for this year’s hopeful yield… wait and see….

Hello Virgina
I thought that you would like to know that I went to the allotment this morning to feed the fox, placed his lunch in my new ”cage” looked round and he was watching me, I carefully backed off and watched him help himself from behind my shed.

Haha Haha….
Bill, that is really wonderful, I bet the fox is waiting for you there. I have took some photos of the foxes on Saturday too, there were 2 of them having their sun bathing. I shall upload the photos in my next post…
