Carted 10 loads of leaves from the huge communal mountain to my plot, to use as a mulch for the long fruit bed (13m x 2m), with potash under it. Managed to get about a third done with this amount of leaves in two hours.

Didn't get wet... hurray!!!

Have to wait for the next dry spell to do some more

Noticed that the rhubarb is starting to grow

With the amount of wet we've had that might not be a bad thing.  ;)

I hope you are right Paul Potts, the allotment cares taker was also planting her onion sets due to the wet!

On the plot today:

Way too wet to even think about the plot today, but got some little trays of compost watered and warming up on the kitchen windowsill ready for some onion seeds tomorrow  :D

Going to investigate the sprouting seed stash as well in a bit.  Getting plot withdrawal symptoms and they will scratch a 'got to grow something' itch  ;)  :lol:

I harvested the last of the Brussel Sprouts and then turned the beds ready for next year.
I also received my seed order for next year  :)

Sounds like hard work but well done you :blink:
Sunshineband I use a Builders Bag across the Wheelbarrow when I do this and it certainly cuts the time spent carting the leaves!
