ALLOTMENT!

[juliet]

marnameow & I have an allotment! The nice allotment chap phoned me last night to inform me of this. We are off to meet him, & have a look at it, this evening. I will endeavour not to witter on about it to everyone at Poptimism tonight, or at least not *too* much.

In other news, I rebleached & dyed my hair last night, so it is now shinyblue again (brighter blue than last time, as well). Also, I smell quite strongly of bleach & dye.

In other other news, last night there was an exciting new fountain erupting out of Drummond Road for a couple of hours. Approximately the height of Marden Square. Most impressive. I have photos, on the phone, but cannot work out how to get them *off* the phone.

Hurrah for Friday. Poptimism tonight (post-allotment-inspection), nice lazy day tomorrow, off to Thorpe Park with the lovely kitty_goth on Sunday (with his work, & thus FREE yay).

I am SO IMMENSELY JEALOUS of yr allotment! Where is it? And can I come and hang out in your shed?

See you at Poptimism!

YAY allotment!

If you would like some wild garlic do say, I have some that could be divided.

I would also offer mint but all the stuff already in my garden has rust.

I could probably give you a cutting or sucker from the quince tree, too, there are enough of them. Perhaps I am wrong in calling it a quince tree as it doesn't produce the huge quince fruits, but the smaller ones, but they are still good to make jelly with and they smell nice.

There is wild fennel in Millfield Park that has probably gone to seed now.

I am still bouncing with over-excitement! And the whole office knows (well, Sarah is an allotment-er already, and Angela thinks we're funny when we start our hippy-talk, and, umm, htat's the office).

Oh, and Sarah has some books that she bought when she took hers over - including a big one all about minding allotments, and one on bugses and what they do and how to attract/repel them - that she's going to bring in for me once she gets back from holiday.

Ace. I'm game for coming and sitting in a deckchair er, furrowing or whatever you do on an allotment. I want one, but I keep moving.

Either transfer to SD card, thence to PC and interweb, or FTP them straight off the Treo via GPRS (I have an FTP client [VFSFTP+] on my Palm for precisely this purpose).

Cool! Do keep us posted about whatever you decide to grow. And whether you get a shed.

Rah! That sounds fantastic! Your own bit of green space. You'll have to take lots of photos... see you at Poptimism later.

cor, how exciting. Allotments=timeconsuming but total Joy, from the people I know here who have them. Have you considered broad beans for a potential winter crop?
