Hello Fruitcake and GWRS you were not there when I posted last
Fruitcake that is good - bargains are great - I go to a potato day in Hampshire in Whitchurch in a school sports barn at end of January last Saturday and Sunday to get my potatoes and bean seeds
Did order 1kg of potatoes from the allotment shop in beginning of December will have to see how they get them
Hello all , got up to allottment this morning and repaired one side of fence that was particularly damaged by winter winds , still a bit more to do
beeen to B & Q and the Range to buy thick plastic coated wire to support fence as the bit with it was not effected , also 2 new padlocks to replace broken ones
also got to replace to posts that are broken , so going to timber yard tomorrow
We're going to a spud and seed day tomorrow. I've never been to one before so im interested to see what's on offer and whether I can get it cheaper elsewhere
The spud and seed day I went to today was good - everything I could think of for growing this year was available. I settled for a few different types of spuds and seeds otherwise I think I would have spent a fortune!
I have been to both plots today, but pretty much only for water damage limitation. On the chicken plot it is a constant battle to keep water out of the chicken run. At the other one, my concrete shed has been leaking for a while but the council didn't do anything about it. I emailed them a couple of times, including pics of the inside being soaking wet and they have finally agreed that bitumen is required but I will have to wait for drier times. We have put a temporary tarpaulin on the roof which hopefully will last out.
And then I came home and sorted through my seeds, writing down what I have and when to start planting

The fair in Skem is a lot bigger with more varieties.
Went to the plot, picked Leek's and kale. Dug over one of the beds, it started to rain before I could cover it with muck.
