Debby Lockey commented on Richard Loader's blog post 'No dig gardening'

Just read Charles's article - really interesting. I know that with this rain the last thing any one should do is even walk on the soil let along start digging. Thanks for that. Debby

Debby Lockey commented on SarahF's blog post 'Diarists Review'

Hi I wasn't one of the diarist but I thought I'd see how I could change the families eating habits. Luckily I got an allotment, with a friend, back in Easter and together we managed to clear most of the roses and get lots of veg in. These proved t...

Hi Cathy sorry its taken so long to reply - been sorting out my daughters gap year. I can get some spinach and chard - hope its not too old and I'll see what else is available. A dozen eggs would be great. I hope you don't look like your picture! ...

Debby Lockey replied to Richard's discussion 'What to do with raised beds over winter'

Hi richard - I think its too late to sow green manure now _ the days are too short. The best thing is to cover them with old carpet/newspaper/straw, anything that will exclude light so you'll deter the weeds growing. It will also protect your soil...

Hi everyone

Hi everyone, I've managed to overcome my fear of blogging (thanks Liz and Jonathan) so I can let you know how my seeds are doing:

I've put the leeks in small pots and at the moment they look like pieces of string defying gravity.
The chard went straight into the ground about 3 weeks ago and I can now tell which is weed and which is chard - the chard has red stems and the first leaves to come through are crinkly as you would expect. Now I have to think of weeding.
