And I do keep them, just to make sure my rotation's going OK.<BR/><BR/>Tyra - yes I do grow my apples as cordons and some are growing over arches :)<BR/><BR/>Hermes - hear hear. You've spotted that apples are a bit special for me!<BR/><BR/>Susan - the allotment is huge! About 30 feet by 100 - I must measure it properly for YAWA. They're designed to be big enough to feed a family of 4, so as we're a family of 2, stuff does get given away or preserved.<BR/><BR/>Yolanda - a busy blogger that's me :) I do have 2 concorde pears which are a cross between conference and comice and are yummy when the badgers don't get them. Shhhhhh - I have guerrilla gardened a comice pear somewhere...<BR/><BR/>Zoe - how typical is that! Do you think you can take it on at the moment, so you can get first pick when something better comes along?<BR/><BR/>Gail - organised in theory, but in reality. Like my profile picture description used to say - calm on the surface, paddling like hell underneath!<BR/><BR/>Dave - I think we're all a bit nebby, that's why we love blogs :)<BR/><BR/>EG - I'm particularly proud of the fire bit too as it stretched my artistic abilities somewhat ;)<BR/><BR/>Anna - I inherited the nettles and I need the exclamation marks to remind me to take care when wearing shorts ;) Fires are discouraged, so my fire area tends to be a bit of a weed dump until the conditions are right for a fire, or I gather them all up to take to the green waste tip.<BR/><BR/>Nan - welcome! It's having a blog that persuaded me to go technicolour :)<BR/><BR/>HM - it's all a disguise. I start out well and still end up in a chaotic heap just like everyone else!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-72776465124612427752009-01-30T06:21:00.000+00:002009-01-30T06:21:00.000+00:00A great plan, VP.I must keep SomeBeans away from y...A great plan, VP.<BR/>I must keep SomeBeans away from your blog - he'll start demanding that I'm as organised as you!HappyMouffetardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09157145094611234176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-23124906602875232902009-01-29T23:01:00.000+00:002009-01-29T23:01:00.000+00:00What fun to look at your map in detail, VP.

I see that we are both <BR/>growing 'Red Baron' onions. I liked the exclamation mark by your nettles - I am sure that like mine they are planned patches:) Interesting to see that you are allowed fires - not so on my allotment site. Only a twice yearly community bonfire under strict control is allowed.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-22417121962592161592009-01-29T20:34:00.000+00:002009-01-29T20:34:00.000+00:00I particularly like the fire which, Triffid like, ...I particularly like the fire which, Triffid like, looks as if it aims to entrap the whole allotment in its tendrils (lol)<BR/>The whole thing is very attractive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-6906408691805625802009-01-29T16:14:00.000+00:002009-01-29T16:14:00.000+00:00Great Plan, thanks for sharing.

And I too need to keep reminding myself what's meant to go where - if spuds were in the bottom left last year, they go in the top left this year... and so on.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to be able to do a nice artistic version like yours (you ought to keep them - when you're an old, old lady you'll pull them out with pride). Unfortunately I'm addicted to computers so have a graphic version instead. Perhaps I'll get around to putting that on the blog one day and we can compare notes!The Constant Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219672153177538912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-910716051365075032009-01-29T09:54:00.000+00:002009-01-29T09:54:00.000+00:00Fabulous, I love see other peoples plans - yours a...Fabulous, I love see other peoples plans - yours are rather nice.<BR/>KAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
