Day 1

The decision was made. TK was keen to make a start. So we dashed out after the rain had stopped, garden forks in hand.......plus an umbrella....and headed for the allotment.

 

TK turned over the first sod of earth

 

We managed about 20 minutes of digging

 

before the heavens opened again..........glad we took the umbrella!

 

The weather today is much the same; heavy rain on and off so I doubt we will make it over this afternoon. Fingers crossed for drier weather over the weekend. Half term next week too so maybe just maybe we might get an area cleared..........!

 

Trying to Make a Start

Having been given the go-ahead by the council today that we could make a start on the allotment, we were eager to do so.

However, Mother Nature seems to think otherwise as the sky is rather dark out there and it's pissing it down with rain so we may have to wait until tomorrow...........garden forks are poised and ready!

(correction its hailing!)

 

The allotment association is supposed to be treating and rotavating the plot but I don't think this has happened yet but on the plus side the ground won't be too hard!

 

We are hoping to go down to the Shed on Sunday as they might have some seed potatoes left still but before then we will need to pick up rubble sacks, a water butt and probably a wheelbarrow.
I see a few trips to the tip in our future.........
