Monday Aug 18th
Hi all, just catching up on the latest news and things.
Getting things sorted out on the plot and also trying to dodge the rain spots. My Pumpkin is getting bigger and bigger. Thank the Lord for the rain, Ha Ha. The Sunflower is on the brink of 10foot tall.
I am hoping it will keep going although the chances are slimming. Got a first and a second on the show out of four entries so 50% can not be too bad. Pickled beetroot came second to some dodgy looking onions??????? and my 7 Herbs came first AGAIN, eat ur heart out Jason. Its only fun banter so I do not take it seriously, but am going all out to win again next year if I survive in to me 70's. Will take a look at Hazels plot later cus she stole a glimpse of mine and Kieran was a star turnout at the show, His mum really stood her ground for him. She's a fighter that one, eh Julie?
Bri & Plum did not have a go and I would have thought they could have got something out of it, but they really do like eating their produce before we can see it, so who knows? we might cajole them into it next show. Will be blogging again soon so keep an eye and I am enjoying my fresh garden peas and Tommies now they are ripening. Top secret, I have started my onions off for next years show so watch this space and I shall let you know if iot was a false start or not..... Tarra for now XXX for the girls and best wishes for the boys.

The Bottom end of it all
Hi all, I am at the lowest place in the plot and at 1A it is the quietest. I hope to rise to higher places later on in life, but at nearly knocking 70 candles on me cake I am not sure if I shall ever reach as far as Jules. Ha Ha.
My name is John and I am a pensioner of repute with fishing, bowl, discos and also helping others amongst my many virtues.
Bri & Plum are friends of mine and their blogg is the reason I am on here now.
Follow me leader chuck. Hi Hi.
We are allotmenteers of early days, learning the pro's and con's of the allotment. Its a very nice feeling eating ones own produce. It can only lead to a healthier lifestyle. The learning curve is very steep, so I am always willing to share my experiences and successes few as they may be, with others. Come in and have a chat about it all. By the way I am the better looking one, not too tall but sizeable and bearded.
I need to get to Hazel's dizzy heights and then I can say I am on the way so to speak. She is a canny little lass, with lots of verve and go and I like to have a chat as I pass on me way.
As and when I can think of more I will add it on here.
Some photo's of me plot when I started and when Bri & plum were helping me a year ago. I am the good looking one, a recycled teenager.
This is the Monday after I had started my blogg. I have just been down to check the plot at 8.00 pm to see how much damage the rain had done. It was very minimal and I was pleased to note my pumpkin is making good solid progress, from a tennis ball now a double tennis ball, almost football size, wow what a cracker.
Met Hazel yesterday and told her about me blog, she couldn't remember the name, poor soul. I have just sent her the details, hoe she can clock em ok. Cant wait to see all she will be showing on August 10th. Ha Ha, careful with words Hazel, I am a little devil at getting the meenings back to front.
Will be starting my cake and also have got myself a super, Well I think it is, bucket for the show.
Wait and see Hazel all will be revealed.
Hehe Jules was at plot today with Keiran and we had a chat about things grdening wise and we seem to agree, things are going well. Hope you get to my blogg Jules. Let me know.
Well without giving too many secrets out,I have really got my Sunflower for the comp on the way and it is well above my height now, all 5'7" of me. Ha Ha.
Got to get me some practice on the mike for wednesday evening as I am doing Karaoke and I like to sing a lot of the old sloppies to the girls. It gives us a lift in life, try it sometimes Bri. We will have to do a duet on the guitars. At least I look likean old country and western delapidated cowboy now. Heh!
Thats all for now folks so stay tuned for the next issue. See ya'all.
