Tried it yes, doesn't work (temporarily unavailable/may have expired/no permission.)

As Ice says, there are better ways of posting pictures on this site.  :)
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Love the bomb shelter shed - looks well. Also the way that you are using re-cycled materials for paths etc. Looks like you really enjoy your plot.  :)

that looks brilliant well done you  :D

we have been away and came back yesterday so popped there not long after we got back. rain all day today so not been down but really happy as this means we can go down (hopefully ) tomorrow and dig those paths and make them flat  :D

don't know how many times i have tripped over coz of all the lumps and bumps  :mad: but as its clay soil have to wait for the rain as a little hard to dig without it  :D
dig dig dig dig digging, rid me of those little weeds....

Just popped to the lottie to see the effects of the last 2 days rain & picked the rest of the pears & a few beans & 2 small courgettes before they grow into marrows by tomorrow.

Well done, budgetbus  :D Where is your tractor now? Can't see on the new photos  ???

Lazy day was for me after heavy rain last night. Just burned some chopped bamboo and old timber. Have very strong feeling, that autumn coming soon - not that hot anymore, days little bit shorter, tomatoes slow down. On the good side cabbage looks better and soon will time to plant carrot, beetroot(hell yeah!!!), onion and broccoli  :D

I hoed leeks and parsnips, then lifted brassica netting and weeded under there and put down some chicken pellets.
Fed the pumpkin/squashes, pulled lots of mildewed leaves off them. weeded under the climbing beans the best I could  :nowink:
Picked raspberries, green beans and the purple podded, lots of chatting, and put the world to rights :lol: got home just before the rain started :)

The tractor is my mates and we have the plot between us. We did some work on it yesterday as the weather is wet :lol:

Todays allotment work consisted on watching Gardners world on Iplayer  :lol:

popped down between showers, was expecting some tomatoes to be ripe, picked a bowl full, some chard, and a winter squash, plus a big bowl of raspberries, stopped off on the way home and picked up merangue, cream and ice cream, just sitting enjoying the fruits of my labours mmmmmh.
