Rain, Rain Go away

Okay so I like the fact that I don't need to water the garden as much as normal, but it would be nice to be able to do more than five minutes work in the garden between showers. that said the plants are growing wonderfully due to the current warm wet weather so I really should complain.

Also its costing me a fortune as I have time to sit and read plant/seed catalogues and websites and so ordering lots of plants, seeds and gadgets.

Vegetable Seeds

VegetableSeeds.net - VegetableSeeds.net offers fantastic value for the highest quality vegetable seeds in the UK. Over 300 varieties with next day shipping.

The allotment

Well the bits that survived the floods are doing well, the sweetcorn looks good, as do the pumpkins.

The Allotment

They allotment seems to be going fairly well despite the floods earlier in the year, when it was flooded.

I lost all my root vegtables and most of my brasicas, but the leeks and sweetcorn seem to be holding on.

Plum Jam

Having discovered that we had plum trees in our garden I decided to have a go at making plum jam. Now I made jam last summer, Strawberry and Gooseberry, both were okay.

But the Plum Jam was great, and I don't even like Jam.

Marmalade

Fresh on the heels of my jam making success, I decided to try making marmalade, that and the fact I brought to many oranges this week, so I know have a pan of orange goo bubbling on the cooker.
