thinking ahead-dark nights

just wondering as its our first year of allotment life how do you all go on for light in the winter months

Sad to say   when it gets dark they stay at home. Winter crops are harvested when necessary.
Much time is spent, however, planning the next year - seed catalogues, bits of paper, photographs. All those jobs which had to wait while they were having fun on the plot are (perhaps!!) done in winter, then in February (hooray) it all starts again. She hates winter - her nose is pressed to the window, her heart is outside.

A lot of digging and preparation is done late autmn, early winter (during the day if it's not too wet) to let the frosts help with the work.

i allready use one sometimes, so i must be barking :shock:

Is it not that time of year when we go into our sheds and hibernate, supping occasionally from the Rhubarb Schnapps, waiting to emerge, butterfly-like, come the spring?
