Welcome to our new Allotment page; our allotment is in Carlton, Bedfordshire.

 

As you can see from the picture below we are a healthy bunch,

but we do eat a lot and our parents spend most of the time running us to the supermarket.

 

What is 70 fingers? Well there are 7 of us in total so lots of hands to help out on the plot.

 

We hope you will enjoy the pictures and keep up with the progress of our allotment!!

 

   
 

Here are the kids  starting from the top Frederic (7), Emily (10),

Josephine (4), Liam (4), Rosemary (2)

 

 

Here is our allotment which is approximately 25m x 8.5m

 

 

 

 

     6 weeks on and the shed has gone up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note that prior to the shed going up we had already sorted out the comfy chairs...

 

 

      

 Mum is working hard in this picture. To be honest she had been sitting in the chair all afternoon and was only posing when Clive picked up the camera.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We've planted the onions to the far left of the picture and they're already looking promising. The middle part of this end of the allotment has carrots, parsnips, swede, turnips, cauliflower, beetroot and brussels sprouts but they only went in last week so no sign of life there yet.

 

 

Hoeing the early potatoes (thankfully one of our allotment neighbours had kindly given us a quick tutorial on how to do it properly). These were the first plants in the allotment and it's so satisfying to see them coming up already.
