Burkina Yellow update 17/05/18

Today under the leaves I noticed to my great delight a little beauty. Tucked up undertone leaves my first chilli has formed. Its only small at the moment about 1cm but its definitely there. They start life as small pale green balls before they change colour.

As its so cold I have been concentrating on what is growing indoors. Here my Burkina Yellow Chilli is starting to bud and all these will hopefully flower and turn into chillis, at the moment there is about 40 of these. I keep this plant on a table infant of a window that gets light all day, and the warmth from the sun and radiator. This beauty is about 40cm tall at the moment and bushes out to about 30/40cm. Last year I saved some seeds which I dried out and have planted out, but some chillis can take up to a month to germinate.

The allotment - about the space

-
When I originally took my allotment on I had great plans, unfortunately nothing was really achieved due to an operation and the onset of my worsening arthritis. Arthritis is something that most people will get in their lives but at the age of 44 I thought it wouldn't be this soon, this bad. My allotment is going to be my escape from the constant sitting indoors feeling sorry for myself. With the help of my son and husband I plan on providing all the fruit and veg that my  family of 6 need. Raised bed, footpaths and easy access to different areas will need to be created, while on a tight budget. Already on the allotment is a stockpile of odd bits and long planks wood left over from previous jobs my husband has done at work. It has a greenhouse, shed and summer house which cost me a grand total of £5. Two runs measuring 3m x 6m are also on the allotment which cost me £25 for both, one is set up for my 3 ducks and the other has netting on.  My daughter dug a large hole and an...

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 ...
