15 Minutes of Fame

Was that Warhol who said everyone has their 15 minutes of fame. Well I took one step closer to that statement today with my big interview for NVTV. Well maybe, not but it was a lot of fun and the guys who were doing it were very professional.

So will have to see what happens there and will get a few photos and details up on the blog.

As far as the allotment is concerned things have been progressing quite well this last few months. The big successes have been the peas, strawberries, potatoes and cauliflower, with the French beans being a bit too successful.

The cabbage has shot, maybe due to the dry weather, the broad beans look a bit meager. Could be that I didn't nip the central growing bud early on. Not sure. Garlic has rotted a bit in the ground, as have the onions. Don't think I picked them soon enough after the tops died over. Carrots were a disaster. Transplanting them caused them to turn into curly carrots. Although I did manage to prevent the carrot fly this year.

The red cabbage is scarley big and the pumpkins are taking over the plot. And it great to see the broccoli coming on nicely.

Weeds are ever encroaching onto the plot. Need a small petrol strimmer to tidy up the edges.

Again a few photos would by the order of the day.
