Day 3 as a plot holder...
« on: December 31, 2011, 17:58 »
... and Husband came up for the first time to do some work for a couple of hours.

The result?  The top priority on the action list now is not clearing all the weeds, digging it over, buying/adding fertilizer or buying some seeds.

No, apparently what we need to most urgently is get a new shed!   :closedeyes:

A man after my heart! Luckily mine came with a shed, which my close neighbours have spoken enviously. One even said it was one of the best on the plot.  :tongue2: That being said, our site does look like a shanty town, so it ain't that hard!

Kate,

Please don't take this the wrong way, but rather than creating a new thread every day, why not create a continuous thread in the "Gardener's Diaries" forum? That's what it's there for!

http://chat.allotment-garden.org/index.php?board=37.0
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

A shed is top of my list too, along with a wee bucket  ;) now that's actually a bucket to wee in, not just a small and cute bucket  :lol: Why is it that every time I go to the plot I end up bursting for the loo...? I think it's a girl thing if i'm honest, you chaps have it so easy.  Oh dear, I'm so sorry Kate for lowering the tone on your thread.  x x x

Thanks Claire - 'cos it's a question that had been on my mind!!  I was wondering if anyone had tried out those she-wee's.....

I guess if it has to be a bucket, a new shed is a must - the rickety old existing one is the tiniest I have ever seen - 3' x 3' - and I'd never get the door closed  :lol:

Give me a sense of humor, Lord,
Give me the grace to see a joke,
To get some humour out of life,
And pass it on to other folk.
Happy new year to you all xx

Hi Girls,
(Guys look away now)

I only put my name down for allotment sites that had toilet facilities!
Luckily in Glasgow there were a few to chose from.
 Although they turn off the water in winter.

Anyway, I DO own a shewee. I got it for travelling Up North ie the Highlands of Scotland.
I never had to use it in the wild, but I did practice at home and it worked! It feels strange peeing whilst standing up and more or less fully clad.  We've spent pur lives trying NOT to do that! :ohmy:

Back to topic: my other half is showing much more interest in contstruction rather than cultivation on our new plot too. Suits me fine. :blink:

Love it!  I've just got a new plot (beginning of Dec) and luckily there was a ramshackle shed which my OH is now obsessed with sorting out!  We already have a new roof, and he spent ages trying to get it level and generally faffing.  We'll shortly be having new hinges on the door and a new lock as well.  Hey ho - it keeps him interested!

On another note, I have to admit to taking the potty with me yesterday!  For the children though...!
