Just been out to burn a cardboard box and paper packing which were getting in the way and wouldn't fit in the recycling box.
Nowhere near the enviromesh covering the carrots of course but then a gust of wind................... 


For an encore I went out to put some kitchen veg waste into my nearest dalek bin - 'twas dark and didn't notice that the recesses in the lid were full of water.........
.........and of course I just happened to tip the lid towards me................

I checked to see the potting shed was still snug under the huge blue tarpaulin after last nights winds.

To my surprise it was. Dry inside too for a change.
(Another job for later)

Not the plot exactly, but I did collect a very large seed order from our allotment secretary ready for the new year...

Very productive day whilst out around on my deliverys... was given 3 big 3x2 flags, 20 smaller flags 2x2 and a security fencing panel... now to organise my son to help me collect them all at the weekend..

Went down to another plot. Green beans are dead now - beaten by frost. Lost, but not a big one - i've got enough for this season. Cabbage, which i planted about a week ago loos bad - too dry weather, so gave some water. No idea, will it survive or not, but hey, it is what it is. Rest of the veges looks ok, next week need to till weeds little bit. Busy at mountain side - keep burning organic rubbish and collecting ash. Today got another problem - water stopped. Went up the river, but not sure is the pipe blocked somewhere or just water level too low  However i will check it again by the end of the day.

Took this afternoon off and went up to my lotty and de-nailed approx 300ft of used 3"x2".
Good therapy after the week I've had. Classic FM on the radio and no thinking involved!

I love the "no thinking" and your radio choice is spot on!!

Busy psyching myself up to go out in the snow to collect all the flags and security fence screen   that I have located during the week at customers houses.. Then I have to wheelbarrow them to my plot from the gate due to cars being banned when its wet..     is this England where it occasionally does rain and snow!!

Most of the day spent with spade, but now water is running  :blink: - intake was blocked with sand and thin scoria.

Swapped the debris netting cover on our walk in brassic cage, for pigeon netting --- that should help it stand up the the weight of snow.

Staked the PSBs -- they almost looked grateful

Pruned the gooseberry bushes to try to create that 'perfect goblet shape' you hear about. So proud that one out of four is lookin' goooood.

Found I  actually have six bushes -- two small gifts hiding at the edge from branches that touched the ground all summer.

Tidied out the shed and put all the canes away in the dry too.

stood and glared at the empty patch where the manure should have been delivered, but wasn't ....grrrrrrrr

How frustrating

Just come home dripping wet and cold... collected and delivered all the flags and 2 security fence panels... finished placing flags on the pathway.. snow looks good on the site.

I have visions of lots of colourful flags waving in the breeze at your plot, Gavin
