It was a nice morning but as friend arrived just after 12 to help finish a fence we had been building the heavens opened and it hasn't stopped raining since. Should have checked the forcast.
The day wasn't wasted though, I've been maknig raised beds for the allotment out of pallets and so went to recci more. I've found a couple of places now were I can get an endless supply.
Suny most of daytime here in SW Wales - had to run into garage when hail shower came through 1530. Plenty of fresh compost, so got o with 'Premiere' early potato planting in big black buckets by gr/houses.
Spent the day on the allotment. You aren't kidding about cost No expert, I needed to buy a bag of nails, so for £2.99 I'm hoping to make raised beds for the entire plot. I already had a tub of wood preserve,with enough black plastic to line the beds and paths.

Weather is miserable here. More rain to-day and cold as well. Covering cold frame and cloche from frost tonight.
Zoomer44 pallets are such a great source of free wood, Helps to keep dowh the costs. Anything left over goes in the solid fuel cooker.

Windy but dry here in the NW.

Miserable, wet and windy this afternoon in north Notts after a dry start and really cold, too. Maybe we're going back to winter.
We had a frost overnight but today was bright and sunny.
-3c overnight, reminder to those tempted to get carried away with sowing the seed of frost tender plants, I suppose.
