It’s generally about who you know. Get down the allotment and muck in with some of the old boys, you will probably find that one of them just happens to ‘look after’ someone else’s plot and will be more than happy to hand it over on the quiet.

Potatoes have had a problem this year, cropping, but poorly, never flowered.

 

Peas just being picked today, everything else good as gold. Sweet corn always a treat!
 

Asparagus bed is worn out, might grass over and not bother replacing, can’t wait another 3 years, want to move by then. Should have planned to replace the current one a few years ago.

Where you moving to Mick, not back here?

[Mick Dempsey]

No, not back to the UK. 

 

We have renovated a couple of houses on the coast very near to Royan, I hope to move there within a few years, in the meantime we will go there at the weekend and holidays.

 

They're nearly finished, I will put up photos in a couple of weeks.

Good tip, did not know that.

Some of my piles are a decade old so nice and rotten

First time I've heard someone talk about their haemorrhoids like that!

Great, I wish our old tree could produce more viable apples, despite stripping all the blossom last year to make life difficult for codling moth  we are getting masses falling early with exit holes., I'm very disappointed.
