Down on the Allotment

Matron grows vegetables and fruit in a Hampshire garden. I've been growing veggies since I was knee high to a grasshopper. Some traditional varieties and old favourites as well as new ideas. I share my garden with my allotment assistant Daisy the Labrador. On Twitter as @MatronsVeggies

New Beginnings

A Day of firsts today!
And I planted my first veggies in the greenhouse too! I promise to preserve, protect and defend my veggies from all pests.... both foreign and domestic!

I watched the inauguration on bbc online--it had better streaming than the overloaded US sites! New beginnings rule. I hate to seem stupid, but what is it you planted in those flats??

Hi, weve been reading each others blog here and there and wondered if you would like to link me. I have yours......

Good luck for 2009, I hope you have success with your growing experiences this year.

Monica - these are some shallots I grew last year and managed to save.
Goldmember - please do link! I have been meaning to reorganize my bloglist and will certainly add you to mine.

For me, yesterday was like Christmas as a little kid! Cathy at Skippy's Garden posted the following video link today that I love: http://www.vimeo.com/1812382
Maybe the Obamas will add a vegetable/victory garden to the White House lawn!
Your shallots look great, by the way. :)

Thanks for a timely reminder - I have not grown shallots before and want to give them a go. I do hope that your pledge is successful.

Oh the shallots look snug as a bug in a rug ;) Doesn't everything seem as it should be now, with something started in dirt!
