This blog is a diary all about my allotment that I rent from Fingal CoCo. It's a month by month pictorial guide on all the vegetables that I am growing. My successes and my mistakes. What advice I can give and what I can take.

Greenhouse
I got a second hand greenhouse from searching one of the recycling forums. When I picked it up it was nothing but a mass of mangled aluminium with no glass. I managed to reassemble it in my small back garden and bought glass panes from a local glass supplier. The best thing about the greenhouse is that you can start off seeds in trays in it before planting out. I put down layers of seaweed and compost and have had great crops of tomatoes last year.I grew Sungold, F1 Shirley and Moneymaker tomatoes and some chilli and sweet peppers last year. Learnt a valuable lesson from the year before where I lost everything to blight because I was watering the plants directly. This year I plan on starting off my seeds and garlic in the Greenhouse. Also to grow a few different Tomato varieties.
