    Think I'll join you guys watching allotments on Youtube, Gardeners World and Beechgrove finish in Octoberimage.

    Gg I've still more paths to put in so if we get a delivery of bark chippings it will be a bonus.

    I'm currently making a list of to do jobs over winter.

    Haven't heard anything about the top half of the plot yet but the guys either side seem to want me to get it which is encouraging.

    Hello the green fencing stuff is plastic wind break material a metre high , got if of the Internet , really good and strong used it on the first half , if anybody wants make I could find it out

    the bark chipping paths work for me , as you also do temporary paths and just dig it in next time , this what our allotment associations gets free , can't recommend it enough

    soil is very good , sandy loam mainly , got some more onions , garlic and daffs to plantimage

    GWRS that looks fab image 

    I went to my allotment last night for some weeding and measuring but was absolutely hanging so didn't water image Its not rained properly here for a good couple of weeks so I needed to do it. I've just nipped in on my way home from work to do it instead 

     

    I hate that light is against us now image
