well scince my last entry ive had no time to spend on my allotment because ive started a new job. and i pulled the radishes up to thin them out and was informed half way through re-planting that they wont grow once they have been removed. well i left the ones i did put back and have eaten the ones that were ready to eat, wich were nice. I have a lot of weeding to do and i cant keep the birds off the broccoli (wich is coming on niceley) but time is not on my side as i only have weekends off and am busy for the next two. everything else is coming on aswell, the plums have started to appear and the blackcurrants are starting. i just need some time from somewhere to get back on track.

How I did it: find some space, plant some seeds, its easy. its takes time and effort but for me it was worth every seccond. the main thing is maintenance once you get going. Read how I did it…
How I did it: i broke my knuckle, nose and my arm 3 times, the same one too, ive had a hairline, compound and greenstick fracture, i did the firs tand seccond roller blading, the third came the day after i was discharged for the seccond, the seccond break was the worst as my arm went completley in two and burst out of the skin, i had a full cast for a whole summer and it was hell. it itched all the time and i couldnt do anything with my friends. m… Read how I did it…
ok so ive got some pics of my allotment here, its was an old green house before but that was demolished so i had to excavate most of it myself, it has a very rustic (or unkempt) look about it. it also needs some weeding but time has not been on my side the past few weeks, neither has the weather. everything is coming along though.
the pics were taken with my camera phone last night(evening) so are a bit dark and not very good but you can see pretty much what stuff is.
ive wanted to do some volunteer work for a while now, i never have, its either finding the time or places to go, things to do, ect.
i know im making excuses but its not something i can just do, or it is but im making more excuses, i hope now ive added this to my list and wrote it down that i might acctually have the find the time and the courage to do something for someone else.
i dont know what kind of volunteer work to look at but i will have to start.
