Turned the compost and bought some of that Enviromesh. I am thinking about making a frame so it is raised of the ground is this a good idea or should I just let it rest over the soil loose?

Well, I got my allotment just over a week ago.  I share it with my hubby, my son and two friends.  Since Friday we've had the shed delivered, painted it, dug for foundations and erected the shed.  We've kitted it out with stove, tools, hooks and chairs, etc, etc... We've erected two compost bins made of pallets, we've made a large raised bed for our son to plant up.  We've marked out the other beds and started to remove the grass from one of those beds.  We're knackered but happppppy

Went up yesterday, reroofed the shed, cleared out all the rubbish from side of shed (council need to trim the hedges!). layed a slab path and dug over the permanant bean bed ready for making bean trench. Dug over a fifth of the allotment. Then stopped for many cups of tea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was moving rubbish on my new plot the end of last year and got bitten on my finger by a grass snake, it was only small but i still  nearly messed myself.

I'd have been out cold.Mr S & I have a deal-I get rid of the spiders & he gets rid of the snakes as yet he hasn't had to pay back & I just hope he's around should one of the other things turn up. :happy:

What do they put in the water in Ashbourne, then? extra vitamins? Pity the nestle factory is now a hospital and there's an M&S food on site, or we'd all be drinking it and getting so much done!

Well done, you lotty lot.

After saving some of those cheap pallets from work, these are the single sided ones as they come apart better. On saturday I made my potting bench for my part of the polytunnel. I also started to dig my little bit as well.

It looks very little in the picture but is around 10ft by 5ft in size

Bit drier today but colder too. Did a couple of hours digging, weeding and composting and made slow progress. Day off tomorrow so im going to plough on and hopefully get a good bit done.

Luvly and warm in the greenhouse, potted on 40 tomato plants, sungold, brandywine, moneymaker and Raf, a luvly spanish beef tomato.  Also about 20 chilli plants and 10 aubergines.  Unfortunately its still too cold at night in the greenhouse so theO/H put  a  trestle table in the front room to put them on so I can now watch em growing whilst watching the telly.

That looks absolutely fab!!!
Not done much myself, kids back to school today so cleaning needed to be done.  Did cut down some more hedge that was overgrowing and set aside a WHOLE day next week to do stuff.

Just attacked the climbing rose ( it bit back )  and cleared up leaves and debris the wind had deposited. Lovely to be out in the sun despite a coolish breeze.
