I see you were at the Braaid before - I know Lynn the secretary very well :) I'm actually the secretary of the Laxey site and through the Allotment Forum know both Lynn and Amanda Griffin from Jurby. Good luck and I look forward to hearing how you get on!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03861108457109878599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123676862669313126.post-24041005047011922872012-01-04T00:47:41.338+00:002012-01-04T00:47:41.338+00:00Wow !

Thanks for visiting my blog and the tip for growing patty pan squash, I will give it a try as I love squashes and pumpkins.<br />Good luck with the new plot. I will pop back to see how it's going.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15540591998909116816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123676862669313126.post-85639136826560802302012-01-03T21:46:42.203+00:002012-01-03T21:46:42.203+00:00Hey Tony, your fennel was doing fine when we were ...Hey Tony, your fennel was doing fine when we were there last weekend - you've got them under the cloches? Think you've got 4 survivors! I want to grow it but not sure I'll like it! <br />Might give celeriac another go, but they were alot of hard work cleaning up & not even 1/4 size they sell in Shoprite! <br />For something a bit different, Patty Pan squash are really easy to grow down there and have a nutty flavour.Lady Fehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05628977103527119059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2123676862669313126.post-7941553711383760462012-01-03T21:35:31.081+00:002012-01-03T21:35:31.081+00:00That's pretty impressive - looks like you have...That's pretty impressive - looks like you have a plan already. I remember trying to decide how to lay out our plot out at the Braaid (Alison thought it quite amusing when I was wandering around measuring everything with a tape measure..heh). Going to have to figure out where we are going to put everything this year. Interesting to see which veggies you're planning to grow too - we planted some florence fennel fairly late last year which did really well till one day something pulled them all up and dropped them all over the bed (I suspect the geese..grr!). Want to have a go at pumpkins too!Tonynoreply@blogger.com
