I FROZE

[archibtbm]

emptied one shed and dismantled another, does not sound much but it took all day 

[Havengore]

Freezing cold again, but more digging done,so was happy enough.  None of my allotment neighbours were around. My only company was a very noisy pair of partridges, which were calling to each other, while running amongst the plots.  Luckily for them, I already had dinner arranged.

Went to the plot yesterday, far to wet to do anything, its still like a swamp.

[snowdrops]

Collected some wooden beams from our son & took them to the plot & put in the shed ready for getting a fire going to burn the weeds another day. Back home & out in the garden I Shredded the Christmas tree but didn't feel like trundling it back to the plot so it's in the greenhouse waiting for another day.

I FROZE

And it'll be getting chillier in the week.

         A spot of digging in cold dry weather is lovely - warms you up a treat.

finished off  a small munty frame, checked out how things are going on the plot, came home and added pics to my diary

[Yana]

Built 2.4m X 4.8m raised bed and dug over ready for Asparagus to go in later.
Had hoped to add a load of manure but the pile from yesterday had already gone. 
Finished paths between new gooseberry bushes and started to attack grass amongst the raspberries.

still havent made it to the plot yet this year, but today I trimmed some overhanging branches off the neighbours tree (with permission and offered them the bits - but they were happy for me to take them to the tip)

I took the kitchen waste for the compost bin and then finished pruning the Autumn raspberries.
Still much too wet for digging

Photographed the snow from the path.

pored milk in the padlock so i could get in the shed :blink:

then fed harry the robin and his family went home put 15 gallons of booze on the go then had a beer

When I finally got into the lotty site (thought the lock had broken, so sent for reinforcements but it turns out it was just frozen ) I finally got the weed suppressant down on the paths on plot 2. Now ready for the bark chippings to be delivered.

[Paul Plots]

I escaped for a whole hour and cycled to the plot late on Thursday afternoon.

I just had to get some leeks before the whole thing is plastered in snow....and I so needed a change of routine and scenery.

As it didn't feel that cold (2^oC) I tried the spade in the ground and.... success. The top centimetre or two was a bit crunchy but underneath was fine so I did a bit of digging after I'd lifted the leeks. It was great! No one else about, peace and quiet and soon I was feeling relaxed and very warm (apart from my fingers).

[Sweetpea C]

I went to B&? to ask for some pallets (no joy) and came out with another packet of sweet peas that I have just sowed in the greenhouse into cardboard loo rolls. Noticed the rocket and thyme are doing a fab job, pinched out the sweetpeas that I sowed in October, and a ros cutting has survived and is growing. All in all a pleasant sit in the greenhouse and even though it's cold and snow here, it was strangely warm in there :-). I still have to some garlic in pots that I want to plant on the allotment - they might be my first thing to plant there :-).
