Welcome to our plot!

I'm Hazel, and in Nov 2006 my friend Jane and I took on a half plot at Hill Allotments, Sutton Coldfield - we want the satisfaction of growing and eating our own fruit and veg, and to improve our diet (and fitness!).

This is the story of what happened next...........

A Disaster Waiting to Happen...?

Had a bit of a hitch tonight.

All started well enough – I had a merry sowing session of PEAS (hsl stephens & hsl ne plus ultra) & some flowers, & potting some of the annual flowers into larger modules & all was fine & dandy with the world.

Then I juggled the seedtrays between the kitchen windowsill, upstairs windowsill, office windowsill, mini greenhouse & even brought the attic room into play as a I’d run out of all other light places, until all was just about squashed in, so I gave a self satisfied nod, & cleared up & started to cook dinner.

Then there was a clunk.

I turned round to see the celery & celariac seedlings crashed off the kitchen windowsill & onto the draining board. Oh no!

I scooped back what I could into each pot & sowed a few more of each with a great deal of bad tempered muttering.

There’s a lesson to be learned here, it’s just I’m not entirely sure what it is.

  1. It's surprising what can struggle back up again when you've scooped a heap of compost and seedlings back into a pot.

    Apparently!

  2. I'll let you know in a few days!

    Of course the worst of it was that I could have scooped up more in the way of earth/seedlings, but at this stage they look exactly the same and I didn't know which was which!

  3. Poor little things, bad mummy!! Seriously though, at least they only fell a few inches onto the draining board (where it's got to be easier to clean up the soil) rather than a few feet onto your carpet . . .

  4. Don't give up the day job to become a circus juggler?
