  • Zoomer for pics I normally use pics from my pictures on my computer and right click and re size in paint to make smaller then use the tree symbol to put pics on hope that can help you

    Some of the plots there are really overgrown and untidy like you say Zoomer I think the same how do they get away with it

    Thanks all for comments on pic was a bit of a grey day but dry then

    Seems to be windy out today

    Like that quite a few of you all join together and help out at the allotment

    Gina that sounds interesting, just looked at their website and they've got some really good courses listed. Let us know how you get on image. It's not too far from me by the look of it so could be useful in the future.....I hope you enjoy it.

    I am going to get a folder and put all the pics (bench) things/ideas I would like for my allotment in there

    Do any of you put ideas down on paper or pics of things you would like to have for your plots?

     Hello  image   Just catching up, things to do but  the weather  isnt helping one bit, seems to be continual rain and wind. Far too wet to try and put manure onto plots makes the work a miserable task. However have everything ready for the first sign of a clear sky - probably Sunday! 

    Zoomer, your orchard sounds exciting, almost wanting a bigger plot now image  Your fellow allotmenteers are a friendly bunch.

    Look forward to hearing about your course gina image

    Enjoy the weekend everyone, hope to be posting photos soon

    Spent the day at the allotments, the working party got lots done, it was a tad bit difficult getting a bonfire going in the rain, but we managed it with the help of some paraffin.

    There's a nice big pile of logs at the top of the plot for path edging now, might even get some raised beds out of the thicker branches.

    I'm going tomorrow to rebuild the top fence, a tree fell on it, the gate posts have snapped and part of the fence was attached to the felled treeimage

  • I won't be getting chooks in time for Christmas, the house I won on ebay was impossible to take apart when we went this morning. I am gutted because it was perfect, and nothing like that will ever come up again so cheaply image
