Gg. Just watched the video , compared to my potatoes and wireworm problems I got a palace.Why start telling us about building coldframes, I'm thinking about it now.I have enough to do.
I have two of most tools as I've a garden at home and some tools were donated when I took on the first allotment. Stuff like loppers, I've only one set, so take these when needed, three wheel barrrows, two very rusty, which are on the plot but one made from a builders fabric, this is at home and ideal for the back garden were space is at a premium because it folds up and fit's behind the GH.
I've a few trowels and hand forks, some not very good quality but the one's from Aldi are reasonably good, and stainless steel so they'll be left on the plot.
Hoping to go to the allotment at the weekend and move more stuff off the old plot.
Roy - I know I am making your list longer don't need to rush though
I have been building the coldframe for a good week now, but took apart the pallet planks to use ages ago just trying to get it done, think big wind coming in on Thursday and I need the plastic gh down before it gets really damaged.
Morning Gg.Yes got some pics, but my IT skills and gardening skills are on a par very basic.Will try put some up, got a book from library on internet&email..Not much too see lots of polythene and things holding it down.
I need to get to my new one to measure up properly for the chickens and have a bit of a dig but I have this evil cold coming through and the last thing I want to do is be out in the cold when I can be all warm and toasty at home lol
i want to go to the other one too and rescue done more brocolli but other than that, I can wait until i have more time at the end of January
Roy don't mind any pics you can get on computer use the tree symbol
Same to any one else any pics?
What has anyone got planned for the new growing season?
hope to get my allotment, me going to make sure I get runner bean seeds to grow them - did not have any this year as seeds did not grow had them too long - going for the celebration for the peach flowers and polestar red flowers as I grew them before and I enjoyed the taste
Fruitcake lots of Manflu drinks and vitamin c
Went to the GC today and there were lots of spuds on shelf's that is so exciting, and plants 1/2 price
got more seed( Mr fothergills) and bulb catalogue today though the post
Received an email from T&M, potatoes to grow in bags not sure I'll have the potatoes but the bags will solve a problem. Saw the raspberry lady in town their autumn so that's sorted.Tried to put up some pics I got a blue square but no pictures I'll keep trying. Fruitcake how do you manage two plots I have so much to do with one, do you have a lot of little helpers.
Roy there are just two of us with full time jobs! Luckily, they are both half size plots. one will be more time consuming next year because we are going to have chickens on one, so time will tell

Gg - Probably won't use them on the plot.
