went to find that the neighbours chickens has scratched up a lot of my onion sets (my fault for not having anything to hand to protect them) so I replanted where I could and put up some chicken wire. I lit a fire and watch all of the weeds go up in flames (gotcha), carried on digging (was there ever a film called carry on digging?) and have got another bed ready to plant. Can't wait to see how much rain got into my waterbutt :-)

not wanting to start a conflict but surely its your neighbours responsibility to keep his chickens of your plot,im pretty sure if mine had dug up my neighbours plot theyd be telling me in uncertain terms what they thought.

I'd be a bit miffed to say the least, are the chickens free range then

Nothing since Sunday as I've been poorly & not for the foreseeable future since I've got Shingles.

[Beetroot queen]

Nothing for me either, still barking away like a dog. Blooming chest infection.  I have weeds to stop it's just inconsiderate

It's just the way it is. It's private land and the owner has been really kind to me. I've now put up chicken wire so hopefully it will be okay. Thanks for all your concern though.

I had the day off from the allotment today. O/h on the other hand was a busy little chappy again, barrowed more top soil from the garden to the plot and enviromeshed the new frame he built for me yesterday that sits nicely on top of the old bath we inherited.

I did greenhouse potting on last night and some juggling with the annuals. There are so many but I still bought a packet of verbena yesterday... there is no hope!

[BussinSpain]

So sunny and warm - just had to get out there   Sowed carrots, beetroot, french beans, radishes in the open, sweetcorn, kale, white & purple broccoli, 2nd lot of sweeetcorn seeds in pots, planted 6 early brussels out.  Opened up the first 1000kgs bag of home-made compost and it is sooooooooo lubberly and crumbly - so spread some of that around.  Now it's too warm for me so in the shade reading (and being tweeted to by the cockatiel!)

[ThePragmatist]

Last night I planted Sweetcorn in toilet rolls, Boston, Butternut and Patty Pan Squash and Courgettes. And a Rainbow Quinoa experiment.

All are now sitting on my minimal window ledges.
