Lovely Greens commented on elaine rickett's blog post Tomato Glut"Great...I have some tomatoes that I need inspiration for and I might just try this. I bottled about twelve jars of 'Chopped Tomatoes' but a good sauce will come in handy too."
Lovely Greens commented on elaine rickett's blog post Tomato Glut"Do you process it in a water bath Elaine or is the vinegar enough to keep it safe? How much vinegar do you use in it?"
Lovely Greens commented on Mr Sparkles's blog post Strange Veg !"I second the pants idea...this exposed turnip is making me blush! "
Lovely Greens posted a blog postMy Allotment Challenges
This is my third year of having a plot at the Laxey allotment and during that time I've continued to update my bed layouts and to try different types of crops. Even so, I feel that I sometimes make decisions that turn out to be less than ideal for my growing situation. If it weren't for these well-intended mistakes then I believe my yields could be higher and I could decrease…See More
Lovely Greens commented on Lovely Greens's blog post Moving a Honey Bee Nucleus into a Hive"Glad you enjoyed it January King :) I imagine that now I have my hive I'll be posting about it regularly. If you're interested, follow this link to my actual blog: Lovely Greens"

Lovely Greens posted a blog postMoving a Honey Bee Nucleus into a Hive
Last Thursday I brought my very first nucleus of honey bees to their new home.

As far as I know, there aren't any other hives in the immediate vicinity so I think they'll love their new territory. They'll have the allotment and glen to forage in for sweet nectar and…See More
Colin Robinson commented on Lovely Greens's blog post Potting up Tomato Seedlings"oops! slinks off into corner, suitably chastened, and reads rest of blog post."
Lovely Greens commented on Lovely Greens's blog post Potting up Tomato Seedlings"If you read a bit further in the blog post you'll see that I'm selling all but a couple of handfuls at my Farmers Market stall.
If I were only going to sow a few seeds I might use a similar strategy to your own."
Colin Robinson commented on Lovely Greens's blog post Potting up Tomato Seedlings"With all those toms you're going to be eating them with every meal!
I sow my toms and peppers in individual paper pots. It's much easier to transplant the whole thing into a larger pot and there's no root disturbance."
Lovely Greens posted a blog postPotting up Tomato Seedlings
Seedling season is ramping up and the first of my little plantlings to be pricked out and potted up are the tomatoes I sowed back in January. All three varieties, Moneymaker, Yellow Stuffer and Gardener's Delight are over an inch tall and quickly using up all the space in their trays. So it's quite urgent that they're pott...…See More

Amazing! I live on the Cumbrian coast....not that far from you but you seem to be well ahead of us on the mainland. Our daffs are starting into flower but no sign of cherry blossom here.

We have a unique climate on the island...it never seems to get that hot in summer but funnily enough the winters aren't cold and spring comes a bit early. It must be the Gulf Stream :)
