Hedges, some trees... not quite the sweeping tree lined avenues of France.  :)

Have spent all day trying to sort out the plants into some sort of order, for the sale. Just know loads more will turn up tomorrow and on the day. Keeping my fingers crossed for the weather.....  :-X

Good luck for your day.  Will be thinking of you.  Would really like to see other allotments.  But it is just too far.

Forecast seems to be better for tomorrow.The sun came out here for a couple of hours but it's looking dark again now- just when I've got a car full of hops to take to the plot. Best get going! Good luck for tomorrow!

Manics have arrived safely....... ;D

I really hope the weather holds up for tomorrow.........it is completely dry now! :-\
If it's not pouring with rain, I'm either in the garden or at the lottie! Probably still there in the rain as well TBH....🥴

doh.....just looked on local live, are you the allotments to the south of littleover lane, opposite foremark ave? I was thinking you were the visible ones from the ring road on warwick avenue? It's going to be a miracle if I find my way there. I'm better at growing than navigating!

Our site is not visible from the main road, those are the Normanton allotments! When you go past those, you get to a roundabout, ( hopefully Saddad will have it signposted with NGS signs from there), go onto Stenson Road and turn right onto Littleover Lane, our site is on Littleover lane itself near the top of the hill.

Hope to see you all there soon! Weather is dry so far......fingers crossed! ;D
