     Good morning everyone  image  sunshine forecast for today so planning a campaign to sort out the fence around the plot - chicken wire interwoven with grass  image and to neaten the bed edges as I need to 'see' how wide the paths need to be.

    Ordered my seeds, Kings,  through  the Allot Assoc. Plastic growhouse to assemble, garden area to be tidied,  modules, compost and pots all ready to go!

    Note to check out Wilco for garlic and onions image

    Encouraged by these before and after photos of the allotment:

    Sorry to read of so much devastation to your allotments folks, hope all can be sorted out without too much hassle.

     GG-no way for the polythene to blow away held down with bags of dug out bineweed, dandilion and old potatoes.Plastic watering can no damage done.                               Bizzie When are you putting up your gh .Do  you have a sheltered spot, I'm thinking end of Feb. Bought some potatoes from a well known supermarket last week very tasty  name on the bag ELFE can't find them on the net. Would it be possible to use them as seed potatoes.
