That's THREE things! I should change the topic title now  :lol: :D Except that would mean I could add to my greenhouse wish a decent shed and regular night-time slug-patroller... ;)

If its only one thing then its a nice 6x4 shed :)   desperate for one advise on the best place to get one is appreciated....like the look of tiger sheds...

and then to add on
- replace the edging on my allotment with better scaffoldng planks
- about the same amount of sunshine as this year
- a cordless cutter to cut the grass paths

A social event. Weird I know, but (and it might be because the allotment site is quite big) there is a distinct lack of community. We have a trading hut but no communal facility where plot holders can meet when it rains, other than they seek refuge in their sheds.

I have my own cement mixer and not afraid to use it!!

That's a good idea - you can come and sit on my tree trunk if you like!

Am I being too greedy by asking for a poly tunnel? I might try to make one :wacko:
My husband's a water sign, I'm an earth sign, together we make mud :-)

I'd like a way of stopping next door's weed seeds from blowing all over my plot  >:(

I'm going to use a bit more weed control fabric this year - but resent having to do so because someone else can't be bothered to keep their plot clean.
