This is what it was like just to get me going with temp broken slabs..

That looks great Gavin --- you just need some sides to the peak to keep the wind off when you are sittin there in the rain, having a cuppa 

Hi Sunny - I have - It's called a shed...     

I am really chuffed with the plot - it's coming along nicely..

Snowy - sorry but I cant find Leics on the map so regret I cant lay your flags...

I took the dog for a walk up to the allotment yesterday and did a bit of weeding round my winter onions and garlic (both are coming on well ). Looked at all the rest of the work i need to do to make my 3 other beds ready for planting, got depressed, came home.

Yesterday I managed a 20 minute planning trip down the new lottie!  We measured where I'd like a raised bed for some asparagus, allocated a section for the little darlings to keep them occupied, and weighed up what to do with the composter!

So excited about my new plot can't wait to get growing! :blink:

How about introducing yourself on the Welcome To The Forums page so we can all get to know you..

Been and layered on 10 bags of horse manure on the ground so the worms can do their job... Loads more manure required.. note to my sons GF horse... please do lots of p**s so we can collect it for my plot

Still got to get to the plot - what with trips to the hospital with my MIL and the weatherits a good few weeks since I got to the plot, but I do theoretically have more time now, so hopefully when the weather clears I will be able to get there - then when it dries I may get something done.

Popped down on the way home from work (early so it was still light) to check that the wind had not taken my shed or minitunnel away.

Mine were still where they should be but plenty were damaged or in shreds

Weeded around my broad beans & garlic and pulled up some leeks to bring home.  Sprinkled some fish, bone & blood on the ground where I plan to plant some shallots in a few weeks.

Went on for an hour picked a few sprouts and a cabbage they will be nice tonight.
It was cold and wet but what else do we get at this time of year

Too wet and stormy still to do any real gardening. Dug a two feet deep hole to bury my son and daughter in law's deceased cat

Just ordered a top up to my seed stocks from Realseeds :

Cauli - Autumn Giant
Sprouts - Seven Hills
Beetroot - Sanguina
French Beans - Cupidon
French Beans - Cherokee Trail of tears

That I think just about completes what I need.

Thanks - have done so!  By the way - when layering the manure on the ground - do you do anything particular to it or just chuck it on top?  Our site gets manure delivered so i've been keeping my eye out for some to arrive - but wouldn't know what to do with it! lol
