A trip down to the plot for us today involved no work, just chin scratching. But we did some meeting and greeting of the other plot holders, a couple of them seem as batty as me so that's a good sign

Lovely sunny day today... Made another step from a pallet and collected ups all the broken flags scattered around the plot and made a pathway to the shed..

It's coming on very well Gavin.

Thanks Digit...  - doing as and when I can... getting all the infrastructure done first and my sons are helping with digging when they can.

Getting the ibc 1000 lt tank and greenhouse onto a trailer on Tuesday to deliver to the plot..

Some lost after yesterday storm  it was something like 200mm rain in a one day plus wind. On good side - all garlic came out and no broken trees at mountain side

Helped myself to three builder merchant bags of leaves from a very large pile delivered to the allotment site. It was easier to transport them to the plots doing this.
Started to modernise the Blackberry frame with old 'for sale board' posts and split some Rhubarb up.

Must be the day for leaves Nige 

Took two car trips with plastic tubs full of rotting leaves from where the council had twipped them over to my plot to mluhc the whole of the fruit bed (not lazy -- our site is at least half a mile across and I am at the far end, plus I am walking with a stick right now  ) Cut down the autumn raspberries and took the dead leves off the kale and winter cabbages.

Mr Sunny finished digging out the space on our front verge and planted the five rose bushes a friend wanted relocated from her garden.

Looks great

Lifted what was left of a row of Autumn Kings - at some point during the week something has raided the patch.  I'm guessing voles   

They kindly left me some puzzling carrot top carcasses which had been perfectly gouged out - and a few bottom ends.  The same odd sculpting took place on the beetroot a few weeks ago.

Cleared up some netting, earthed up the leeks.

Only spent an hour today as recovering from a nasty flu like virus, so first visit in 2 weeks, with other half.

Harvested some cabbage, kale, leeks and red celery.  Added the sweetcorn to the compost bin.  Dug over a bed and inspected the garlic and over-wintering onions, hoping they will be established enough for winter.  Spotted one neighbour through the fog.

Cleared all the loose bricks.. broken greenhouse glass, used magnet to remove nails and screws from an old burn dump - I really dont know what the previous tenent used to burn - I got a bucket of nails etc.. Also made 8mt of centre pathway with planks either side.

Did some clearing up move my comfrey barrel away from my shed should never have put there  dug over some more of the empty plot for next year about time i ordered my manure

[snowdrops]

Finished digging where the raspberries are going to be moved too,then forked in 3 barrow loads of manure that Mr S barrowed up to the new plot for me from the old plot. Mr S then brought up the old dalek bins,the rest of the slabs & then we got up the weed membrane paths up & dumped it on the top plots.

Our second weekend session today of three hours resulted in us cutting back what we believe to be our Autumn Raspberries, and re-establishing their frame. Also the rhubarb bed has been completely reclaimed from weeds, re-established, temporarily edged and mulched with the compost that we finished sieving today. Also dug up six Sycamore saplings. Am thinking that a garden incinerator is going to be needed. Pics below show Raspberry bed before and after (it will be weeded and given a good hoeing next week), and the finished Rhubarb bed, which will hopefully give us our first crop in the Spring.

Noooooo Sunny... my pallets are burnt on another patch... also the pile I collected are mostly screws... the ex tenant was a sparky so probably dumped all his waste and burnt it!!

We have a wee one in our house too. It's been a quiet summer on our plot but she is now getting used to being on the plot. Didn't get up this weekend as chris has been working on our chicken house to be.

After a few issues the start has been firmly made.
