    Last year we dug up a very ancient miners coal pick,covered in thick rust,the wooden handle had rotted away. Having caught up a bit with the garden,decided to find out more about it,and give it a good clean about a week or so ago. OH made a new handle.
    Now it hangs on the wall as a tribute to the hard working miner who lived here.
    Wow what a find and what a lovely restoration job  :)

    My friedn and fellow allotmenteer was complaining that someone had stolen one of his boots from his poly.

    I said it was a fox and about 2 plots up there it was on a grass path next to a large plastic bottle

    Cut the grass, cut back some shrubs, did all the weeding and dead heading, tied in some dahlias and finally got to plant two new echinacea i'd bought on saturday and some wee bedding plants i'd bought during the week. I enjoy planting the most so kept that job for a treat at the end. (Actually did this yesterday as we have a yellow warning rain storm alert).

    Trimmed the Willows with 'harlequin' stems - great to look at but I hate the constant trimming!

    Weeded the leek patch, it’s been looking at me accusingly for a while. Finally got around to deadheading the heleniums, a tedious job, there are so many of them, but lots of new buds coming through.
