Who am I today? The Ravings, musings, ramblings and mumblings of a middle-aged failure with a richer fantasy life than a real one. Well, what did you think I looked like? It was a late night!

Well I dug the pea trenches and filled with scrap salads and peelings. A fellow allotmenteer offered me this advice. And so is My rocket. This little fella is our new friend. He pops up everytime we get to the lottie and follows us about. Might have to name him if he keeps doing it! All in all its looking pretty bare as Im behind everyone else. Hopefully not for too Long.

A view through my window, growing vegetables and hen keeping, crafting and living and loving the simple life. Tuesday, 27 May 2014. We have lift off! So much has happened this past month it has skedaddled by! The post below was written almost a month ago but I forgot to post it so I am posting it now whilst I type up what has been happening since.

Down on the Allotment and other gardening goodness. Well, what can I say, life simply has got in the way. Granted there have been good times and bad, though unfortunately for the allotment it has faired a little worse of late.
And just to show you the potato patch before it turns into a weed patch like the rest of my allotment! This is supposed to be my onion patch. There are definitely onions in there somewhere! .
Peat pellets for the win. Also makes it easier for the kid to join in, sow and replant. She can even drop them to the floor and the net will keep the roots intact! To be found in your area.

Growing vegetables on one small allotment. Brazilian Spinach thrives in the Brisbane summer. By Allotment adventures with Jean. I put my allotment to bed for our long hot summer under a blanket of horse manure and a thick layer of mulch. You can also propagate it by putting a cutting in a jar of water and it will sprout roots. I add this spinach to soups, stir fries and frittata but I also .
This is mainly due to the fact that my Dad had taken ill early in August and sadly, unexpectedly, died on Tuesday 31st August 2010. As you can imagine this has been very hard for all of us in our family to come to terms with especially as, at the time of writing this, his funeral is yet to take place. Sunday, 8 August 2010. Not an allotment post today but a few pics from the garden.
