Looking good Sue. How big is your plot?
ReplyDeleteI think it would be about a third of an acre. Victoria (5x a standard size allotment plot)
DeleteIt looks a huge space.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a large area, Jo
DeleteGosh very envious of all your space! I assume what's shown in the photos is all yours? You certainly have plenty of work to do to maintain that but it looks very productive and well cared for! Seeing the size of your plot gives a reality check to the amount of time and effort needed to keep up the momentum of looking after the space.
ReplyDeleteThe sire is open plan so other plots join round the edges, Caro which makes things look bigger.
DeleteIt's all looking very neat and tidy. It won't be long until those beds are a mass of green again.
ReplyDeleteHere's hoping, Jo
DeleteIt looks lovely, like it's raring to go Sue! I am a fan of your grass paths. A neighbouring plot holder ripped all hers out when she started and after a year has a huge expanse of weedy soil to cope with!
ReplyDeleteWe're fans of grass paths, Jill. although at the moment some are becoming a bit muddy.
DeleteIt is all very attractive Sue. What are the two things growing in the middle bed in the last pictures?
ReplyDeleteIn the last picture I think the bed that you mean, Alain is the flower bed, wallflowers, sweet Williams, sweet rocket and dog daisies.
DeleteHow can it be winter if the grass is still green??? Envy...
ReplyDeleteOur grass does stay green in winter Tpals. What happens to yours?
DeleteSomewhere under the snow it is brown and dormant. We should start to see green again in April or May if it's a bad year.
DeleteIt's all looking very shipshape. I love the top photo (sunset I assume, rather than sunrise). I do like to have a good look round other sites. I get so excited when we're out and we see allotments. I ALWAYS point them out.
ReplyDeleteCertainly not sunset, CJ
DeleteThose are some amazing shots. We're not too educated on the subject, but you're certainly opening our eyes to it. We thank you for sharing. :)
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome
DeleteThe plots look ready to be planted on the new season. Look so neat. You have do a great job, a hard work.
ReplyDeleteJust need the weather to be ready Endah
DeleteIt's a lot of work, it must take all your time and more at the height of the season.
ReplyDeleteThe weed control fabric has helped a lot, Jessica. There are the two of us working on it and we manage to do lots of none gardening things too
ReplyDeleteHow different it all looks in the Winter. I tell you what, the grass is pretty green, considering it's January!
ReplyDeleteRather than white you mean eh, Mark?
DeleteGosh....loving those leeks...I'm thinking potato and leek soup now. Your lavender is looking good too!
ReplyDeleteI'm always surprised at the sheer size of your plot, it is in wonderful shape, I'd love it.....xxx
We have had some of that, Snowbird. The lavender will be given a haircut early spring.
DeleteYou are doing well if your plots are looking photogenic at this time of year, Sue. And they do!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Mal
DeleteIt all looks so tidy...and here I sit thinking how much i let mine go last year and what a slog I am going to have come spring....but I guess that is one of the perils we put up with....I really wish the weather would improve!!
ReplyDeleteGood old weed control fabric, Tanya. We've become lazier and tidier at the same time.
