We went around Hale on Sunday Looking at all the garden there were 11 of them, not many of them near each other so a lot of walking and getting car around great gardens some on slopes, ended up tried at end of day - got some ideas from them
Did a full day monday too GWRS up allotment took new strimmer did quite a bit lasted a good length of time, then lots of digging and got lots of boards in edge of path and then back in garden painted more boards for the path edge, Was a super hot sunny day
Done bit of digging today not far off getting to end of path still a bit to dig out of grass/ weeds
Anyone at the allotment been offered a cup of tea from other plot holder?
Dreadful news in Manchester Garden Girl, so sad for the victims and their families.
Lovely weather here, had a good session yesterday afternoon, planted out some courgettes so hope we don't get a late frost. Peas, beans, Brussel sprouts and broccoli all in now too. ! Only a few gaps to fill. Found yet more pallet collars for raised beds so filled them up with the courgette plants.
Ginagibbs is terrible in news, great find on the pallet collars
Did a bit of strimming in garden today and finally planted out my peas after digging over the bed and chick peas will also plant some of them at allotment
Any of you watching Chelsea flower show, some great gardens
scroggin...The weeds seem to be less in the beds which were covered over winter. I"ve two long beds still covered. The soil is like black gold when first uncovered...?
Hoping to get glass cut tomorrow for GH and take toms, Aubergine's, chillies and peppers to the plot over the weekend.
Happy growing everyone
Do we need to start a ' new Allotment OMG...part 3' thread as we've gone over 1000 posts.. ?

Hello , yes have been watching Chelsea. Some great gardens , a couple not to my taste such the Maltese Quay garden
The Great Marque , amazing ?
Was luck enough to go many year ago , helping out for a charity that had a small garden there , well worth a trip
Been to the plot each evening to plant stuff out. It's been great weather. Caught a bit of Chelsea.
Put GH glass in 2nd one and just need to measure up for the roof and a couple of side panels
Great to see the plot filling up with flowers and veg?
