    Hello , popped up to plot this afternoon to sort Sprouts , bought some home for dinner tonight 

    Carried on renewing paths

  • Been to the allotment today very cold weather when got there frost was on the ground half way through the day it was -1C for a while and nearly -3C when we left, feet and finger freezing still feel tingly

    Over the two days got most of the last outside shed wall done about 5 more planks to go so that is good

    GWRS have you made any apple pies?

    We are having frosty mornings but not quite minus yet. Invest in some thermal socks Gg...

  • zoomer just ordered some thermal socks will take a few days to arrive, wondered if there was such a thing while we were up the allotment freezing and looked them up found loads - just need thermal leggings

    Cold in the south by weather map - up higher warmer

  • Hi all, last time I went to  my plot was Wednesday, its been so cold down here, good for the parsnips though. Pulled up all my remaining carrots, only have celeriac, chard , cabbage and parsnips left in the ground, but have loads of salad at home in raised bed, that seem to have survived the hard frosts.

    Shed sounds like its coming on Garden Girlimage

  • Scroggin did you get help putting your shed up?  are you painting a colour on you shed?  will be great to have somewhere for tools

    Got my thermal socks so will wear them,  not been as cold for the last few days, today got second coat of paint on,  after using the nectar points yesterday in Homebase got nearly free tin of the shed paint 

    Homebase is going to stop nectar points in shop so no more collecting or using after 31st Dec

    Ginagibbs shed getting there thanks

    Need to sort out the wood for inside the shed

    Strimmed bit of the plot the other day,  the plastic strimmer box with cable broke as cable got stuck now need a replacement as all bits broken and not useable - seeing as under guarantee hoping to get one that way
