Allotment Blog
 
I found someone's allotment blog here a few weeks ago. Unfortunately
I have had to re-install Windows so have lost the URL. I've looked at
recent posts but just can't find it.

I can remember:

There were a number of photos of the allotment (it may have actually
been two plots together)
It was part of an allotment web-page circle.
The "owner" had just put up some very strong supports for his/her
runner beans - not just canes - looked by 1x1 timber
He/she had already transplanted some broad beans which looked really
healthy.
He/she had some photos of lettuces set out in a pattern of different
coloured leaves.
The sweet-peas looked really healthy.

I would be interested in a pointer to the web-page.

I think you mean Plotty. Do a search on that word in the google/groups
archive.

That is it spot on - many thanks

(I didn't say in my first post - but I am quite envious - an
excellent example of what can be done ;-)

I'm sure I must have asked this before, but the memory being as it is, I
cannot remember,

What is a 'blog'?

It's a contraction of 'web log' - a sort of online journal. Some are
serious current affairs comment; some are just personal blathering; and
every other variety on every conceivable subject in between.

A web log, or an online diary of sorts...


Thanks to both of those who answered my query, but don't be surprised if I
ask the same question in a week or two!(:-)

Hello Steve

Out of curiosity how much time do you devote to your allotments as they
look as if they are run on military lines? I'm assuming they take up a
lot of time to be in such good condition and to exist on the scale that
they do.
