    Only watering done today as we've been out. Purchased two more sacks of compost so I'll be planting lots of seeds next weekend.

    My goodness that looks fantastic, you must have worked incredibly hard.

    What fun you are going to have planting up, growing and eating.

    I have a small garden but it is such a de-stresser, and good exercise. I wouldn't worry how long you are at the allotment if you have time why not?

    What are you going to grow?

    That looks an incredibly good start. Well done.

    I've had a weekend of visitors so haven't done too much in the garden. However all seems to be coming up fine although we could do with rain to give the outside stuff a boost.
    Remember...a layer of dust protects the wood beneath it.
  • I'm heading down the plot for more digging. I'm sick of digging! I just keep finding more couch grass! But the spuds need to go in, so got to get on with it. Also got some garlic in modulesvto plant, not sure if I've left them too late, we'll see...

    Exactly the same here, my back is so sore each night...and still 3 more trays of tatties to go in :(
