Competitive Allotmenting

Jul 22, 2010 23:01

I got a letter through the post yesterday from the town council inviting me to the Kendal in Bloom award ceremony as our allotment has won best on site and is being put forward for the best in town competition!! I'm completely amazed by this, and most of the credit is owed to my parents who being retired put in most of the leg work, although I do ( Read more... )

Dude! DUDE! Totally awesome, K! Congrats to you guys, your hard work must feel pretty goddamn satisfying right about now!

PS: I guess the Universe really liked the cinnamon bun? *winks* I'll get your worry/luck rock to you ASAP.

Thanks A! It feels really good to have the work that we (especially my parents) have done recognised.

The worry rock must be working already despite still being in Scotland.

oh that's wonderful! Congratulations! I won 3rd prize for my front garden (small front garden category) two years ago.

Thankyou! It's a really good feeling to have all your work recognised, it's never happened before.

PS my allotment is nowhere near that neat! I bow down to your superior collective weeding skills! :)

I am so impressed with your allotment... I have a veggie/herb patch in my back yard that got started late this year, but everything has started to take off recently. I'm going to have tons of peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, and cucumbers. It's exciting! :)
I hope you win, because you can tell a lot of work went into it!

Thankyou Beth! I'm growing aubergines (eggplant) on one of our windowsills as it's too wet/cold to grow them outside. They've just started flowering and I'm excited to see if anything comes of them.

Sounds like your veggie patch is going really well. Isn't growing stuff so satisfying?!

Awesome job!!

I am so proud of my little vegetable garden so you must be absolutely chuffed. :)

Thanks Gemma, it's been a real learning experience. I'm hoping that I will have learned enough this year so that I can take some of the pre-planning responsibility off my Mum. I'm so made up that we've won best plot on the site :)
