Hi gunnerbee. ;) been down lottie planted shallots hoped to get the ground ready for my pots but the rain drifted in. Had a cuppa in the shed but the wet did'nt look like stopping so gave up and came home. Nice hot bath and a drop of something warming.I dont think tomorrow is going to be any better so another week to wait before I can go again. :(

happy paddling Pickle ;D

It's just started raining here, about half an hour ago when I'd finished all my other jobs!

Same here, rain just started. Got few jobs done which included making some 2bar fencing round one of the borders, dog has decided (over the winter) that she likes to walk along the border. A little shouting and retraining to do >:( Sciatica set in so don't suppose I could have done much more, always tomorrow ;D

I've just been out in the damp drizzle digging over and weeding one of my raised beds in the back garden...the cats were watching me from the comfort of the greenhouse as if I was nuts! ;D

Sometimes cats can be very perceptive Deb!

I got dragged out to go shopping with the wife, and by the time I got to the plot it was peeing it down. I potted Carolinej's strawberries up, and that was all I managed.

The weather has not been too bad here today. I have planted 12 different varieties of toms and some parsley in the raised beds in our garden. We will be off down the plot tommorrow! The forcast is for sunny intervals so fingers crossed!

Not too bad day here, the odd bit of drizzle, but managed to get plenty of work done on my personal allotments, took a brush cutter to the new plot I've taken next to my other three! Also found a tray of leek seedlings, although I have no idea where they are from, but they were in a sheltered spot by my shed, and were thriving, so have popped them in the ground and fleeced them up, so fingers crossed for my leeks please!

The weather forecast is awful for the next three days, which is all the time I have left to work on my work allotment project before I go on holiday to do more work on my personal ones!!!

Allotmenting is non-stop for me, Monday to Friday, on the mental health allotment project that I run, then weekends and holidays on my personal allotments with my partner.

I am sooo lucky!

Had little bit of s drizzle this morning and thats about all not sunny but not that bad to stop the Para gliders of the beach banks this evening. Well, except for the lad being carried on the frame of one. " Hard landing " i asked " No tripped over the frame and broke my leg" he said. Dont laugh David dont luagh why not he cant catch you i said to myself.

Not on my allotment today as I am down in Sunny Surrey. But did see some lovely allotments as I walked the dog, I think it is, Putney Vale, it's a carry on of Wimbledon Common. Two people were working their allotment's I wanted to call out anyone here from A4A but didn't have the courage :)

Anyway didn't rain until we got back at around 2 pm, a nice day in Surrey though.
