Maybe but years at it makes better judgement an right the wrongs from where you've gone wrong on the allotment meaning over the years your knowledge of what to do to condition an maintain the areas will of picked up. My grandfathers had an allotment for over 45 years. Could name every plant in a garden centre just by looking at it and not reading the label. Went with him last weekend to a few garden centres. Was upsetting to see the old man at 90 say that about not having to read the labels. Many years has a child went up and down the country to diffrent places calling off at garden centres if passing by one. Lol. He was a nightmare for them. More my grandmother now. He's like we've got one of them plants pearl. She's like no we haven't Peter. Funny to watch them both , me and wife just walk on laughing. You can spend big money in them garden centres on plants.

chartpolski 27,340 Posted April 16 Report Share Posted April 16 Egg production is ramping up, todays lot; Black Leghorn, Irish Hennie, quail and call duck . These won’t be picking at my peas and beans when I move them outdoors from the greenhouse ! I’ll just take the breasts off and the rest can go in the compost bin !
