Hi all,
well what do you know, that little lady on Plot 2B is really doing well. For all the effort and devotion to her plot she is the number one newcomer half plot winner.
I can tell you now Chris.
A reasonable turnout plus at Reggies talk and only one from the top section. That Lady Sheila was very welcome especially after making an effort to come along straight after surgery on her knee. Thanks Sheila. Her Husband came too and I feel they enjoyed the evenings entertainment.
It seems that the majority at the top know it all. The results from the competitions show a true story in my eyes. Well done Julie and Chris. 9th in the whole of Birmingham is a very good effort Julie and well deserved. Christine your labours have been repaid. Congratulations.
The POND erosa is growing steadily and a nice community spirit is being acheived around the Badger SETT. Ha Ha its all in good fun and hopefully we shall get a Barbecue in the Autumn.
The Potatoes I dug up from self setters and put in rows have surprised me and lovely crops are the result. From 3 plants 8lbs plus and a really good looking bunch of Tatties.
The peas I planted with my new seed sower have come through as well as the cabbage. Also the bed that had Broad Beans and Peas in is now ready for winter crops. I think Turnips will be good and also some Swede. Will have to get that done today as well as making the pond area more useable.
Folks I am off now and ready to go up to the allotment and get things done. Take care as you know we care.
PS I have to get Hazels name on the stone so I shall be painting as well this week.

The Latest
Hi there, and welcome to the Sunday page roundup.
The Talk from Reg on thursday evening went down very well, and it was reasonably
represented by most of the Bottom plotters and only Sheila from the Top.
Obviously they know how to get ready for the show so it was not for them. Thanks Sheila, your presence with your husband was appreciated by all of us especially as you had only just had surgery on your knee that day and made the effort.
Those that did not turn up lost out, so lets see if they wish to come to the next one.
Hey the POND is down and water is in it, what a lovely big water but. Good if we have a drought. I am making headway filling in the sides and thanks to Brian the express train, the pond fitted quite well. He also gave me some weed suppresant to go around it. When the rocks are in and some flowers and suchlike we shall all be able to while away and put the world to rights down thebottomoftheplot. Ha Ha, its starting to look good. Gave a little dig up to the potatoes that were self setting, you know the ones I had carefully dug up and replanted in rows. Well a big surprise was awaiting me cus there were lots off three plants. All Mayo variety reds and appart from a couple of slug holes, well formed and good looking. Can ot wait to have an eat of them.
Have put in some late peas with the new planter and cabbage, they are coming through nicely. Will have to keep a close eye on the to see haow they grow and also protect them from the dredded pigeons.
Can't think of much else at the moment, but eh who knows we might get some more news tommorrow. TaRa......................................
