Got cold ears 

Not surprised! Cold down here today too on the not-so-sunny south coast.
I gave the plot a miss.

I bagged up 20 large sacks of year old well rotted manure  - approx 400kg - from a local stables & drove them across to my allotment in the next village. Got twice as much still to go

She'll do anything to spend more time in bed.

As it was, a solo expedition. Fixed another mini bed to grow little-gems (too small for much else), planted two rows, will plant more later. Tomatoes, chillies, peppers, aubergine, lemongrass and artichoke into propagators - maybe a bit early for some, but if they don't take then try again in a few weeks.

Started at 7am this morning, cleared dumping area at top of plot - trailer and car full to the tip! Then back to the lottie for cuppa, strip and re-roofed shed, put tool rack up and tidied out. re-installed water butt and guttering, then laid concrete slabs for path next to permanant bean(s) area. dug over bean area and general tidy up. then home to install new main phone line and socket with 4year old and 11month old helping me

A beautiful day in Devon.
Planted the broad beans, onion sets and shallots.
Did loads of clearing up and had lovely chats with the people passing by.
It felt really spring like today.
Bring on Spring!

We got up at 7am and as it was not raining (although forcast said rain all day) we got ready and got to lotty by 8am.     Yesterday  late afternoon we loaded a trailer with well rotted horse muck our friend took it to lotty where we dug it off trailer.  So we were really hoping for a dry spell this morning so we could get the muck spread and rotavatered in.  
Rain started at 11am  job was done so headed home with a satisfied grin on my face !

Planted the blackcurant bush in the raised area with loads of compost and fertilizer. Cut back the Gooseberry bush and got some good canes so planted them into an old tall bucket. Dug up the Raspberry bush I planted the other week and added loads of compost and fertilizer and replanted. I took peoples advice and planted the other two Raspberry bushes well away in fact I planted them in the area I was looking to plant broad beans and sprouts. Can I still plant between the Raspberry bushes or is there anything else I can plant that may be better placed once the bushes take hold?

I also went and bought some Eracious compost don't know how to spell it and planted out the Blueberry bushes I bought into the large Planter, then realised I had no rain water as the dog had decided to play with a container that is normally full and chewed a hole on the blind side so didn't realise it was empty so I'm hoping for rain tonight or I may have to water with Tap water???

I also decided to plant the apple tree I bought by mistake yesterday I have planted it in the front and will just keep pruning it to keep it short. Just plated it straight in the soil no compost or fertilizer as I'm not bothered if it takes or not.

@ Half a Plot Man. I'm impressed that you stripped before re-roofing your shed. Naked gardening is unfortunately frowned on by our committee despite my argument that it is an extremely effective way of scaring off the pigeons. And passers-by.

made myself a 4'x2' box to keep all my kit in on the plot,  this has made loads of free space in my car now.   
 it was freezing cold and a bit to wet to do anything on the ground though but luckily im pretty much ready to go now anyway
