Day 50, and I am sure I have clarified this before, but days are the days we have worked and pottered not simply days of having the allotment.
Another thing I have written as advice is that you need to take lots of photographs, it helps for when you are in the middle of it all, simply awaiting for your work to be fruitful so that you can actually see where you have come from compared to where you currently are. One great example of this is our lasses greenhouse, today a hive of activity for new seedlings but as you will see from the photographs below it has had a big change from where it was originally when we took it over.
We have a wheelbarrow with a new wheel which is always useful.
The potato beds for the first earlies, has been done early. I must concede that yet again our lass is, as always right and the rest of the potato bed is simply not ready (too wet), although I am as ever impatiently wanting it to be.
Our lass forever the busy little bear, has been busy with some log roll which we had, to make an edging which means flowers can be planted along side the vegetables and it also keeps the soil in.
And finally, our neighbor offered us a fennel plant, can't say it is something we would have chosen ourselves, but I like the sound of the aniseed and it reportedly has great flowers which I thought our lass would enjoy, we will keep you posted.
Our lasses green house which we took over
The hive of activity it is today
We had no choice with the color but it is a very cheery one.
two beds are ready for the first earlies, but will the weather allow this tomorrow is another question.
Our lass reused some log roll, with wooden pole supports, makes a defined edge for some flowers.
fennel from our neighbour, I like aniseed our lass likes flowers could be good.
