    Just back from the allotment was just a quick visit to deliver some materials, water the plants and take a few update photos.




    As you can see I have moved things around started to level the ground for polly and the pumpkins are getting bigger by the day :)

    Looks great HH, and that pumpkin is amazing. You might have a monster pumpkin for Halloween.

    Womble I need to try and beat my record of 52Kg when I last had an allotment five years ago, won me the first prize in the local Autumn show  :) that time.

    Crikey! That’s the same weight as my wife! Careful with your back picking up those monsters!

    No apology needed NewBoy I know exactly what you mean, this is the fifth I have had over the years as I've moved around  :)

    Womble you just have to hope and pray that when you do lift it's all OK underneath no soft or rotten parts.

    The last one took three of us to lift and maneuver safely into the van to get it to the village show.

    Not put anything here for a while, only been down early mornings watering and levelling the ground for polly.

    Tidied the shed this morning and made some room I'm going to attempt to start erecting polly's frame tomorrow,  the grounds level and the membrane is down, if all goes to plan I will add some photos later  ;)

    Did get to the allotment this morning after a bad week and not getting there, started to erect polly got most of the bottom rail and side rails together.

    The pumpkins have enjoyed the rain getting bigger :) and tomatoes are looking good if not a little battered as they are outside.
