Will I go back one day.

Still busy at home with the decorating the hallway and kitchen should be ready for end of next week, also problems with the kids leaving home and coming back. So went to the allotment to give a few things a water and drop some wood off so I can make some more raised beds,so i opened the shed to store the wood and found a gap in side someone had pinched my wheelbarrow.The barrow was a little bent but it did the jobs I wanted it to do, no more cabbages have gone missing as of yet but you can see which ones were taken. I reported it to the police but they can't do much anyway but at least it's on record now,someone else had a shed took about the sametime so we think they used the barrow to transport the shed. If we report it to the council and ask for a bigger fence with barbed wire on it they will say no because they have no money, what could happen they could tell all of use to leave the site as because they must be only around 25 plots taken up,and about 50+ empty plots .

Short visit today.

Just a quick visit today due still having work done on the house and trying to get it sorted,only been a couple of times this week to water in the greenhouse. So today's visit consisted of watering inside the greenhouse and planting some strawberry plants,I got given 18 plants so divided them up and put them in my little attempt of a raised bed well a flat bed. I also noticed that's someone has been helping themselves to my cabbages and savoys, I did notice the other day a few missing but I thought I was seeing things.

Not good weather at all.

Went to the allotment on sunday to do some weeding and potter around, I didn't go while late but the minute i arrived it started to rain and hailstone. So all my plans went out of the window to make matters worse I may not get much time to go this week, we are getting some building work done and the house is a right mess. Good job I went on Saturday and did some weeding and general tidy up, so all I could do was water whats growing in the greenhouse and have a chat.I also covered some soil up with some sheeting so i can try and control the weeds.

Live blogging from the allotment.

Just having a cuppa at the allotment so I thought I would update my blog while I'm here,I've made a little raised bed so i can plant some strawberries. Well it's not really a raised bed it's flush with the rest of the allotment,but I have boxed it in so I can control it a bit better.I used some old decking planks and some weed control fabric, only time will tell if it works.

I've found my leeks.

Been to the allotment to do some weeding and I found my leeks that had been hiding in the weeds, I'm getting some of the weeding done but it's talking time to get rid of them all.I know it does take time but I want it done now,I have loads of jobs that need doing but don't know which job to do first.

Was going to do a bit but lost faith.

Went to the allotment today with a lot of things I wanted to do,but once I got to the allotment and found out some one had been in my shed. Quite a few small things have gone missing which I will have to replace now,it might not seem a lot to some people but you can't afford to keep replacing things.Some items that went missing were scissors-Swiss army knife-seeds-labels-small shears - screws - bulb planter- even some onions, some other items have gone but can't think what they are till I need them.

I know we can't do anything about it but it does your head in anyway I will stop moaning and just crack on with it.

Not been much this week.

Not been to the allotment much this week due to weather and I have been decorating, the decorating seems to be taking longer than I thought. The only times I've been down is to get some produce to take home,when i did go I've noticed that someone has been in the shed. Boxes and tubs were open bottles had been moved and some had been in the greenhouse, I can't see anything missing from my shed don't know if anyone else had anything missing.

I'm hoping to get time to go today after I finish some painting jobs off around the house,I need to pull finger out and start early then I can go.

Flower shots

Just a couple of flower shots.

Mugs

We were cleaning the cupboards out and we found some mugs that we don't use,so I decided to take them to the allotment even though only one will get used mine.

Wheelbarrow

Even my wheelbarrow hasn't got any better.

Fill fridge up.

Been to the plot over the last few days and collected a bit of veg to bring home and fill the fridge up a little saves on money buying it from the supermarket. I've started to try and sort the fence out on one side with old fencing leftover,it may not look pretty but will do the job well what I've put up. Done a little weeding while i was at the plot, only problem is I keep getting a blister on my hand.
