About Me

My photo
Cockney Pierce
Keighley, West Yorkshire, United Kingdom
I live in Braithwaite Village, West Yorkshire, with my wife, four cats and ten chickens. I enjoy gardening and this blog is essentially devoted to progress on my allotment at Selbourne Grove. We got the allotment in April 2012 and much of the work in the first year was clearing the plot from junk and debris. Follow me on Twitter https://twitter.com/RichHenryPierce

Cockney's Lame Tips

  • GARDENERS. Wrap seed potatoes in a wire mesh before planting. Hey presto! Ready cut chips at harvest time.
  • Turn your greenhouse into a garden shed by boarding up the windows with spare floorboards.
  • DIY enthusiasts. Make your approach more professional by starting 3 days late, wearing ill fitting trousers and shaking your head at regular intervals.
