sorting out the tool shed and workshop

as there's not much to do down the allotments at present a few raised beds to dig over so I've turned my attention sorting out the tool shed and workshop well

Good time to do this, Rowland!

I started to put the mower to bed yesterday, running the tank dry and pouring oil all over the paths in the process!

The hardened collection of grass under the mower deck took ages to clear with a paint scraper, and I finished up with a bucket-full! All I need to do now, is collapse it all, and find a space under the work bench to park it for the winter...

(What's 'space')?

Every autumn the shed gets 'sorted' and I promise myself I will keep it tidy next year and not use it as a dumping ground!

You'll never guess what I'm doing today,...........

I bet you can't wait to get  that greenhouse sorted Mrs B  but from what your saying they seem rather long winded getting the job finished 

its funny you should say that Aunty because I'm finding things i never thought i had or at least i forgot i had them i came across a petrol water pump a petrol generator a petrol mower engine and I've only just started sorting i just ask myself where did all this stuff come from not even started on the tractor spares

my Daughter said you need a skip I don't think so there a lot of memorabilia in this old shed to be found but not found any money or gold stored away yet but given time one never knows 

There might be money or gold in those there tractor spares if you put them on eBay!

I've got to get round to sorting some of our tractors repairs out along with many other repairs i have left things to do in the winter months he says and your rite snowdrops vintage spares are a bit costly but i like restoring old farming implements god knows what will happen to all these things when anything happens to me

i restored a 3 row potato planter several years ago as it had been standing outdoors for some years it took some time to get it working i painted it and it looked like new we used it once on the allotments and found it clumsy to use on a small plot so we parked it up in the garden sheeted it up and there it lays

like most people i say to myself i must get these jobs done then something crops up and before you turn round its spring and time to think about gardening all over again

 i keep telling  the wife will get round to doing these jobs sometime honest
