    Well done on all the recycling Baz. A lot of work but well worth it in the end.😊

    I do enjoy catching up with your allotment, you two have done wonders. Our garden is on a slope in the Welsh valleys and it's been our saviour in many ways. They say you can do housework ! But at least with Gardening you've got something to show for it.

    Thanks Everyone for your great comments and Hazel me and Helen have been to our allotment every day for nearly 10 weeks during our furlough and its never looked better. Glad you've got your garden looking great👌👍it's the place to be at this strange time
    And valleygirl its definitely my saviour as I unfortunately had to have another operation yesterday ,  I'm hoping the big "C" hasn't come back but now I'll be our garden area in the allotment to recover 
    Thanks again

    Here is the garden area and allotment.  Everything is growing great 


    All the are coming into bloom

    The veg garden is rammed and looking great thanks to this rainy June but could do with the sun coming back now😁

    Dare I say it but we could have a good crop of cauliflowers this year🤞🙏

    The rain has given our potatoes just what they needed

    Swedes are selling up

    And finally my traditional sunflowers are doing great . Before I planted them I mixed a load of compost and chicken manure pellets into the border and I'm hoping they'll be massive this year
    Thanks

    Everything looks great Baz, those veg look delicious,I bet you get a good crop of spuds too!  Its nice to have a pretty area to sit,I take it Hels does that?
    Great idea to do a video for Gardeners World. Pallets are so useful.

    Hello Everyone 
    I'm starting to feel myself again after the latest operation it's the anesthetic that knacks me . Anyway shed extension update I've finally got  some cladding to finish the sides off so all I need now is another window and rip some wood to fill the gaps of the pallets in. Give it another coat of paint and jobs a goodn 

    Went on quite easy

    Needs another coat but its looking the part

    Thanks

    Glad to hear you're feeling brighter Baz. Another one here who thinks you should do a video for Gardeners' World. Your allotment deserves a wider audience. 
    How is Hels with a video camera ?  :)

    Hello Everyone 
    Shed extension update . Put the 2nd window in and finished it off with cladding and gave it a lick of paint. Also inside I made 2 window sills out of scrap cladding and it looks great.
    . 😁
    Thanks for asking me to do a video for gardeners world.  I'll give it some serious thought 🤔

    I've got some finishing touches to do which I'll try and get done this week.
    And the garden is looking great 


    Thanks
