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......................................

New Beginnings
Watch all,
Now heres a thing, the pool is lying on the plot ready for planting Ha Ha, and all thanks to young Brian. I have to measure the base of the pool and also the shape etc so that I can paint a few lines for Brian to work on for hole digging, any other help would be appreciated.
Rescued a large toad with Jason last week, It was wrapped around the netting near my lettuces. It was not too far from extintion but all was well and he soon went on his merry way. I have heard of birds getting caught up in the netting, but not toads, ah well we shall all have to be vigilant on this one as they are a bonus to our plots.
With any luck we shall have the pond in and ready by the end of July, rain permitting, and we can all get ready for some nice Autumn evening Barbecues.
By the way, we appear to have secret watchers on our bloggs, Local officials and all that, well I never, it never ceases to surprise me who can be watching, Welcome to the bloggs Paul.
Hope you find it interesting, and worth a laugh or two occasionally.
Veg is ready to be picked and unearthed at this time but that bloomin wet stuff gets in the way. I shall try and load some piccies up shortly so keep watching all and take care for now as we care. Ta RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Further Jotts
Hi all and thanks for your comments, was going down today to do some digging but bloomin rain again, still saves me a job apart form Toms in Greenhouse.
Went over to country Gardens last night with Roger and I bought a nice Dogwood and some more Thyme, also another Herb, forgotten its name though. Its on the pot so will look later. The blasted Squirrel has knocked dowm my bird seed feeder and broken the perche3s off. I will catch that pesky squirrel and give him a piece of my mind.
Ah well can't be bad as the Pond will be down at plot but not in till Bryan returns from Hols. He has offerred help at hole digging. Getting the ends of bench painted green to keep things in line with the rest of the world. John Davies knows about my green paint so ask him where it goes. OOOPS He will be only too pleased to let you know about me. We used to live a few houses away from each other in our chilhood days. Hatcham Road, and Bendall Road.
The plot is providing me with some berutiful DUNLUCE suds and they do boil away if you cook em too long. Must keep an eye on that as they are super tatties and taste the earth, WOW.
Have had over 50 potatoes off 6 plants. Not bad eh.
Had a good rubarb and Orange brekky today to start well. Alkaline meal once a day does you the world of good, gets rid of the fat and bad enzymes in yer body.
Looking forward to my next weigh in on 9th July hope its good as I feel a lot better for loss of weight.
Well folks keep looking and blogging and Oh nearly forgot the Grecian part of Life at Christine and Mikes home. Its really fab and reminded me of my 3 yearts in Cypress in 1959 to 63. Wonderful pace of life then and a lovely country. Greek messehs and food was good.
See you all around the set TaRaa.

The Badger Set.
Its getting better, so I must be quick writing this. After yesterdays wet happenings, maybe I should not need to worry about a hose Ha Ha.
The back near the shed will be set out to involve a new developement. The POND erosa.
Gates and also bench will be provided so you may rest awhile. Couldn't be better eh.
Short blog this one as the INET tends to throw me off after a few minutes. Keep watching.

Moon Planting
Hi everyone,
well Christine surprised me with her gift of Red Currants and what a surprise.
Have been resetting the slabs on pathway and started to get some assemblance to bottom half of the plot.
Noticed my sunflower was missing its main growing point so aked Julie for another.
Must get this plant going as its the third attempt.
Pumpkin seems slow to get on eith producing anything like a runner or start, so will keep an eye on thet to. Pesy cheeky Pigeons are getting greedier and really pushing their luck. Might get pigeon pie yet. Have thought of a good name for the pool area, LA POND=EROSA
