WE PASSED OUR BEE COURSE

WE ARE THE BEES KNEES


Posted by Chris and Debz at 15:20, July 21 2011.

Well we did it we passed the Bee course the theory and practical



we are now proud owners of bee keeping certificates picture upload soon



as for the bee they have not been able come to the plot this year as funding from the parish council is limited so the area cannot be made safe and level and fenced properly



The bee's set up cost are slightly higher than they thought over 2000 pounds



But we hope to raise th issue next year again as all the allotment holders agreed to bees and are happy we have just got to play a waitng game now till the the full parish council will release funds

ALOT AT TH PLOT

ALOT ABOUT THE PLOT


Posted by Chris and Debz at 23:00, July 20 2011.

There is alot going on at the plot



we have so much to tell you ,its been a while



we planted out carrots cabbages parsnips and for some reason they have all died



then we had last year,s potatoes appearing all over the place



so a bit of a bad start



We had a death in the family and Debz has been in hospital twice



Chris manged to plant potatoes replant cabbages and salads and keep thing going for a while



when Debz was feeling better so in between she managed to sort the peas beans and tomatoes



all in all we managed to get back to a reasonable state of affairs

GO AWAY RAIN

RAIN RAIN GO AWAY

We all love a bit of water on the plot but here its been rainning alot



The potatoes are ready to be dug up be we've not been able to do it yet due to the bad weather



but all the peas have been harvested



now we just have to wait out our time till its dry enough to work the soil again

WE MISSED YOU

We missed you all!
