Hi GWRS, tree was about 150 yrs old, it sadly died, we have lost a lot of our trees lately, we have a honey fungus problem and I think they are all quite old.
Been to Wyevale none of them in Hampshire seem to be doing the talk and demos or free bulbs which is a bummer brought some wall flowers in purple colour - was wanting tulips bulbs but will go somewhere else and get them cheaper
GWRS looks as though Horncastle Wyevale are doing the talks and demos
Did a lot yesterday at Woolston garden project trying to sort out de brambling area dig over and flattern out we got the weed matting down in one bit just another bit to go this will be for the pallet benches and some planters
Talks sounded nice but all gc we asked say they are too small only the big large ones with talks that is tough when they put it in GW mag
GWRS will post pics soon only one area needs a raised bed and one side kinda sorted of ground, we will be planting bulb and veg in some of the raised beds next Wednesday with main volunteer man and others
I want some tulips too, if not 50 bulbs in next gw mag for not much or I will buy them from somewhere else
Went back to Woolston garden project this afternoon de brambled and de weeded, dug over area, levelled and got the weed matting down so hope to get the planters and benches there by Tuesday when finished - like a suprise for main man and others - as they don't know about the benches or that we are sorting the area ourselves - so all that tough bit of digging done
Went to plot to cover shed back over as was windy yesterday and remove water,then got a big shock the plot next to me that no one is on a min got shed door stolen by the looks of it - what - who must be someone on one of the plots - could not see the door on anyones sheds - what a cheek
Went up to my plot yesterday and spent a good few hours trying to get it under control, squashes are growing all over the place so had to cut some back as its a bit late for them now. Also have a boisenberry that has run amok so had to tie it all in. Did lots of watering, but weeding will have to wait till tonight.. found some tomato blight on my outdoor varieties so picked off the fruit and bagged up the rest.
Celeriac is coming on really well, will have a good harvest soon, might pull one up today for dinner.
Grown some Pak Choi in modules so will plant those this week.
Hi made it planters and pallet benches in Woolston garden project garden, took them down on two trips today and put into places we wanted so hope main main likes them (he will see tomorrow morning) with all the effort put in clearing area so hope bulb planting tomorrow
Need to go to the tip lots of garden waste from allotment and tip not to far from there
GWRS hope day is nice tomorrow enjoy your allotment plots

Gardengirl, unfortunately have family coming to us tomorrow so can't get there
Was thinking about doing some Tulips in pots as well , that's the way it goes
Got loads of old compost in pots to take to the plot , either put on beds or in compost bins , depending how root bound they are
When Woolston is finished you will have to put some pictures on site
Everybody have a good day
