June's diary is now complete!

It's hard to believe but by the end of this week we will be into July!

The focus on the plot this week has turned from planting and sowing to harvesting and caring for the growing plants. It’s been a week where the mornings have threatened rain which has never come as the afternoons have been very warm with outbreaks of sunshine. This has meant plenty of exercise watering thirsty plants.

Your plot could feature on my website too!

Plotters are always interested in seeing how other people tackle their plots - whether they be brand new or well established.



If you garden a plot on Green Lane Allotments site and would like photographs of your plot to feature on this page, either send me the photos direct or why not create an online album, (such as Picasa) and send me the code to embed the album. If you don't know how to do this see me on site. If you like you can send me some text to accompany your photos too.


If you have a plot or grow elsewhere then you may like to join those who have already sent photos click here to view.

June diary is updated

Excitement this week as the kiwi flowered for the first time. Maybe the degree of excitement was excessive taking into account that there were only five buds on the two plants and so far only three had actually opened. The chance of any fruit is very unlikely but it is a step in the right direction and who knows – next year the plants may be dripping with flowers!

We are now really beginning to reap what we have sown and harvesting is now as much a feature of our week as the planting and weeding.
