Starting again, planning for the future

It's been a while since I have blogged, circumstances have delayed my progress but things are moving along now. I have taken on another 15 poles of allotment that was very overgrown as you can see from the pictures above. This brings my allotment to 35 poles which now totals 1/4 of an acre, this means my self sufficient plans will be more achievable. As someone that doesn't eat any meat products, poultry, fish, dairy or any eggs I should be able to produce most things that I need for my diet. I don't push my diet choices on anybody as I think everyone is free to eat what they choose, these are my views. I do try to add as much fruit and vegetables into my families diets as possible and to be honest they are not great meat eaters anyway. As you can see from the pictures below the extra allotment space has been cleared and part of the space rotovated. Ten poles of the allotment has a vast array of mature fruit trees including 2 cooking apple, 3 eating apple, 2 pear, ...

Frogs- a gardeners delight Frogs are a gardeners delight, they eat your slugs etc without eating your plants. On my allotment I have made two areas which I will allow to become overgrown. One area is a fenced off 2m squared area with blackberry brambles in, the other area has an old bath and a few logs in.I have a filled bath with water and grass is growing in one end and a couple of small floating pieces of wood for ease to get out. Around the bath is an area of grass, brambles, a few logs and other areas fo them to hide in. This area is fenced off and about 4m squared and roughly a meter away from the other area that is for the wildlife the live in. Both areas have been fenced so that they won't be mown or strimmed, this will be a total sanctuary for them. Just before the return of the beast from the east, we had a warm spell and the frogs got busy. I wasn't sure I had any frogs until a ball of frogs spawn appeared, the next day a second ball appeared. Unfortunately on t...

Yield per fruit tree, bush,plant

Yield per fruit tree, bush and plant So.... while the snow was here and I cant get out in it because of the arthritis I thought it would be a great idea to start planning. start While trying to decide how many different fruit plants I needed to feed a family of 6,  I realised that it would be helpful to know how much eat plant would yield. I spent hours searching different internet pages, different suppliers, different growers etc. I have combined all my findings and found an average per item and compiled a table so its all in one place to see when planning. Below is a table of the fruit that will be planted on my allotment with yields so I can work out how many plants I require. Next I'm going to decide how many of each will be needed.  Plant, tree, bush average yield lbs when mature Apple tree 60 up to 90 Apple miniature 12 up to 24 Apple patio 5 up to 10 ...
