Scroggin just found out what shop is going to sell they did not decide to go with debris netting or roofing felt - which is rubbish could of done with roofing felt later on for my small shed
This is the final list for new items to be sold in the Allotment Shop Chicken Layer Pellets. Poultry Corn & Meal Wild Bird Food. Pencils to go with Labels. Label Pens. Cable Ties. Cabbage Collars Water Piping.
Hi all, been enjoying roasted Jerusalem Artichokes this winter, I have been roasting them along side jacket potatoes with olive oil and salt Parsnips are a great success too this and still have some celeraic to dig up. Onions and garlic doing well.
got loads of horse muck on the beds and nearly all weed free, so not too much to do. I might spend some time making my grass paths straight.All the bark paths are now re done as we had a delivery of bark chippings a few weeks ago
Just had my invoice for the plot, I pay £10 a year for the shed rent, do you think I should pay to re felt the roof or is this a job for the council? not sure, any ideas?
GWRS heater sounds good, enjoy finding bits in Wilkinsons, good tip for cabbages
Scroggin - your shed sounding good, I guess that as the allotment shop sells enviromesh they did not want to stock it shame - if I need it will get my own
With the roofing felt it is a shame not to sell as so many plots could do with re-roofing but think someone on committee had an issue with thinking there will be bits they cant sell, me think not really if sold by metre then so many grades you can get Homebase seem to do it for £15 for 8metres
Ginagibbs I would check with the council about the roof as you pay rent for the shed, your plot is sounding amazing
Me well went to the allotment plot done a lot of sanding of long pallet planks for inside of shed some wood has got damp so moved some to rest of pallet pile and got some potatoes harvested, ground was frosted in some areas - nice sunny and peaceful at plot other than me sanding using drill multi tool
GWRS you are way ahead of me, hadn't even thought about spuds this year.
Hoping to go to the plot this weekend if weather is dry. I'm collecting a cat in the morning from animal care, he's called Ozzy, there's a pic of him on their website..

Ginagibbs , I would look at your lease , it should say if you or council are responsible for keepng the shed in good order
The shed I inherited on other half of plot , I patched the roof up then painted on some water proof stuff I got from B & Q and it worked !
Dinner tonight includes sprout tops with bacon , leeks & parsnips from plot
Hope you are all keeping well
Thanks for the advice, will look at my lease and see who is responsible for upkeep ( I have painted it in the past)
ginagibbs sure they wont mind that you painted it
Hello bought Rocket , 1st earlies Desiree , main crop potatoes and some Red Sun shallots from Wilko today
Bit of a disaster last night in greenhouse my new paraffin heater produced loads of sooty , will need to spend tomorrow cleaning Hope pants are ok !
