Moved an apple tree, pruned a pear tree, cut down the raspberries and broke up a couple of pallets to make a path.

Also my plot neighbor has had his first early spuds in for at least a week now  :ohmy:

Nothing on the plot but I picked up about 500 - 600 pots and trays from a kind lady who was giving them away on Freecycle. Don't need that many but she said I was free to take them and hand them around the allotment site to anyone who wants them. Well chuffed  :D

Put some shredded newspaper in the compost bin, and bought a gardening magazine to remind me of what I need to do when it eventually stops raining!
Cheers

Looks good, made me laugh you're 1ft 2inches taller than me, I wouldn't have managed very well would I 😄

Crikey, if your 6ft 5in that's one very tall polytunnel in the picture.   :wacko:

OH and myself spent a couple of hours up at the plot this afternoon.  We moved the timber for the raised beds and the fencing from where the delivery man dropped it on the communal patch to plot 2 in case anyone thought it was going a begging. My OH rough dug the bed that the summer raspberries are going into on plot 2 (16ft x 3ft approx), he will dig it over and rotavate it as soon as we get a few dry days in a row.  We healed the raspberry canes into a trench until the bed can be finished.  I planted out some strawberry plants.  We then put up the wires for the fruit along the back fence of plot 1.

Load of lovet soil and nicely raked now in a new raised bed that my Dad built, not thought what to use it for now.
Dug in all the winter peelings where the beans will go.
Soaked overnight and sowed in trays in the greenhouse, the first seeds of the year, my saved and some new broad beans.

I got 14 yds of atomic red and 15 yds of purple haze carrot seed tape done this weekend, but ran out of flour(up visiting Dad, so just had a little baggy of flour with me) before I could finish all the sugar snax carrots and midnight ruffles (red) lettuce combination seed tape I was working on...only got about 8-9 yds of that done.

Harvested some leeks and cabbage.  Weeded three raised beds.   Plot still very wet.  Noted I need more manure.

I planted a rhubarb crown on the new allotment with a good bucket of well composted manure around it. This followed serious glass mining - it's going to be a long time getting all the small stuff out of that plot. Some little blighter of the bird variety has been pulling up the winter onions. Good thing I have some more to fill up the spaces.

On the old plot picked the last of the leeks (note to self to compost the bed now), picked some brussels which are virtually at an end and also bought some psb from the newer plot.
