Shed Update:
OK. It fell over. It's back up. End of story really...no-one hurt, the shed's fine and thanks to a few burly men turning up it took only seconds to restore to vertical. It actually took longer for me to repair the fence round the adjoining allotment that sadly got damaged when my shed rested on it...
Sharing:
I am discovering what must be one of the great joys of allotment life...sharing the surplus. Yesterday I gave away some French Bean seeds and a couple of garlic bulbs. I was given some lovely fresh rhubarb, several strawberry plants and a pot-full of Brussels Sprout plants (Just as well really because some of mine have been attacked by slugs before I could even plant them out).
Crop Update:
The beans had taken a bit of a battering in the wind but only a couple of minor losses - French beans - and all tied up and tidied up now. Have dug over the final big patch for now and then planted out sprouts, calabrese, cauliflowers and cabbages. Had problems netting them so will go back and do that when it stops raining and before they are attacked by rampaging butterflies.
Plans:
Short-term plans are to dig, level off and seed the patch that will be a lawn, and then to tidy up what I've done so far, including sorting out the paths, strimming, etc. I have recently purchased a rechargeable strimmer which I have yet to investigate and try out. It's very stony up there so have also bought some goggles. I will no doubt look like a middle-aged Biggles on a mission, but at least I'll have my eyes intact at the end of it!
