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
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
Hello all, I have finished the outside cladding of the shed and started painting the shed today the back wall with Cuprinol urban slate - did get very cold so had to give up was starting to get dark anyway
Went to allotment today for a tool sale brought a large hoe like ground wacker tested it does well, nearly there with another side of shed with painting ran out of 1st tin
Watched someone else put up a shed today they had brought flat pack looked good thought
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.
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
