Allotment

(1/3) > >>

GillE:
I've just been allocated an allotment :) .

There's a new estate being built nearby and it's now a requirement that a certain amount of land has to be set aside for community use.  Hence the new allotment.  I realise it's a bit late in the season but there's still time to grow pak choi, lettuce, swedes, beetroot and spring cabbages.  Plus I've got a load of leek seedlings (you get sooo many seeds in a packet) that are surplus to requirement, and it's not too late to transplant them.

It should be better exercise for me than sitting at a computer!  I just hope I can still find time to make sawdust.  The dogs should enjoy the walk to the allotment too.

Simon:
What on earth (or even, in it), is a pak choi?  Sounds like you're going to have fun, Gill.  :thumb:

GillE:
Pak choi is a Chinese vegetable, a bit like a fast-growing Swiss chard but with much wider stalks.  They're great stir-fried with a bit of oyster sauce, soy sauce and a little sugar.

Simon:
I don't think it would be my taste, but congrats on 3000 posts!  :clap: :clap: :clap: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :thumb:

Rodders:
We drove past some allotments only this evening and I remarked how they were something of a rarity now building land is continuing to  soar in value.  Anyway, good luck with the Cha Sui crop, Gill, and well done on making it all the way to 3,000 without the aid of tranquillisers.
