Just pottered around in the sunshine....took down the polytunnel frame......plastic cover to go to the tip, it only lasted 2 summers

Made all the pots into a tidy pile for washing (one day ) and dug up a nettle that somehow managed to grow again, even though I thought I'd got it all last time Grrr. 

Pulled a few turnips, carrots and a couple of (very small  ) swedes.............. to go in a stew for the w/end ............

In between picking children up from school, feeding and changing nappies of our new son. I managed to get to the patch for about 1 hr yesterday. Managed to plant some raspberry canes, a blackcurrant and redcurrant bush and a rhubarb crown. I am new to gardening so hopefully i have planted these at the right time. Need to have a think about crops for next year and where to plant them. Will do this over the weekend.

On my new 3.5 rod half plot (I now have a full 7 rods): straightened and braced the rickety shed, put up a pallete compost bin and pulled up and composted the larger weeds; leaving the smaller ones as green manure - they will stop the soil leaching over winter. 

Dug several test spits and decided no point digging over so long as I map out the beds and don't walk on the growing bits from now on.

Met the plot neighbours - nice chaps. Life is good.

well just back from building my 4 pallet compost bin, I need to collect some more to make a second and maybe third bay.

Put an Albert on the scarecrow's new waistcoat, had a cuppa soup, painted wood preserver on the timber for a spaghetti squash frame, and went back to check out the local market!

First time on allotment today for a few weeks.  Who invited chickweed on to my patch!  Weeded between the fruit trees and the herb patch.  Really pleased with the sage I planted this year: is 10 x original size and still really healthy.  Also, several clumps of self-seeded perpetual spinach , which I don't mind at all.  A bit strong tasting, but nice free greens.   Trying to decide which maincrop spuds to grow next year. Maris piper were very scabby , not impressed at all.
