Got back to a warm house (brr) after a few hours in the freezing cold and wind. Have dug a 6 x 10' area and weeded around raspberries.
A good day today!

Just started to warm up today learner

Got a letter off the council today, Iv got me a new plot. Going down tomorrow to see if its in decent nik or even half decent and see if the soils any good as im going through what I did last time and ill just stick with the garden.

Things are definitely looking up here too.

I received a letter informing me of this year's allotment fees. At last they sent it to the right address (rather than my father's) and listed the right one and a half plot numbers.

Problem is this should have been paid by 31st Jan but the bill arrived 2nd Feb.

You'll be getting your marching orders then...if you don't pay up soon

Today's the first time we've been since before all the snow etc.

Ive dug a 25 x 7 foot section that had been left to fallow so was fairly thick and wet but broke up nicely. Only thing is my cheapo spade was clinging to the earth so it was like twice the work so Im gonna get a nice stainless spade and take good care of it.

The wife did a section that was previously dug, so a lot easier work for her :-) but about the same size as my section so in total we've dug just over a third of the plot in about an hour!

Not bad given we're both relatively unfit and not done any proper digging for the best part of 20 years! :-)

[Junie]

Not on the plot, nut bought some spuds to chit and some shallot sets ( 70 percent off and still 2 months to sow according to label )

[Hampshire Hog]

Slid around in the mud on my allotment, put up a new raised bed and planted a set of shallots. Ground is pretty sticky but just about workable. Saw an odd object in the sky think it's called the sun!

Cheers HH

Went down 18:30 in high winds, under torchlight to secure the greenhouse door (kept meaning to do something about that). One twinwall panel blown in - replaced that with some difficulty. Will be interesting to get down there this weekend to assess any damage
