    Planted the fruit tree's a few weeks ago. Three apple,two pear and a Victoria Plum.

    None of the  lotty pics are of mine. My first half plot is next but one to the bee hives, just out of range. A friends little boy thinks two spacemen grow stuff on that plot. When we got home one day he told his dad he'd seen two spacemen on the allotments image

    I printed off some pics but haven't put them in an album yet, took a coupele each month up till about July time but have only taken a couple of the new plot..

  • Zoomer44 It took me a while then I remembered the bee people suits definitely space people

    Gg the keepers only wear their suits when checking the hives so we've only seen them a couple of times in full suits.

  • I bet they look sureal Zoomer. We dont have any beekeepers sadly.image

    Had a nice afternoon yesterday  at the plot. Did a bit of tidying up and planted broad beans, some were from my greenhouse and I put in a couple of packets of seeds aswell to see how they do. Shallots also went in. image

    I found loads of 2' wide trellis panels in a skip a few nights ago, I will use these for something, possibly a low fence to divide my plot and to put up the side of the shed to grow a grape vine. image

    Lovely Autumn day been tidying up the garden and few jobs outside 

    Ginagibbs , I to have been thinking about a Grape vine , was luck enough to pick up second hand greenhouse which is on the allottment now but have got to glaze it , without being nosey it would be nice to known what you decide ? 

    Going to football on Saturday hoping subject to weather to get up there Sundayimage

  • Ginagibbs great find there - dividing off bits of plot sound good

    You lot and your good finds in the skips nothing like that here

    BizzieB you could have small beds wide ways down the side of your plot and grow flowers for cutting

    Added straw to the strawberry bed like I saw on some of the plots at the allotment to give a mulch other that that been to station garden cutting stuff
