Shortly after returning to Holland from a nearly 5 year stint abroad, I looked into getting an allotment.
Which I eventually got somewhere end of February.
During the year I have had like a ton of courgettes (lovely), loads of New Zealand Spinach, lots of beans and other lovely goodies.
Hm, you didn't have many varieties I can almost hear you think...
And you would be right.
At the beginning I made a choice I started regretting quite soon.
Beds are normally not a very big problem when you are on top of weeding.
But as I fell ill in May I have been running behind on everything!
So this year I have been weeding like there was no tomorrow, with the unfortunate result that the times for sowing had allready passed.
Did I try?
Oh yes, tried sowing beets and carrots at the end July.
Results were next to none.
How does this fit in with the blog name.
While an allotment normally lies just on the border of a village or city, my heaven is much closer to home.
Our landlord runs a company that we live above.
But at the edge of the buildings are loads of trees and this is where my heaven can be found.
When I first saw the place, I realised it will need a lot of work.
I felt like Indiana Jones when cutting my way.
Pictures will follow.
