Allotments 4 All

From Haygrove,
6Mx3M... and they are putting it up. Another plot holder on our site has had one for a few years, and I saw them at Malvern last year. Delighted because I was late ordering and they thought it would be "late May" before they could erect it.... but it's arrived just in time for the mass planting out of tender plants like toms, peppers and chillies.

For many years to prevent devastation of our brassicas by the local large population of wood pigeons I and others on my site have used scaffolders debris netting  supported by hoops to cover them. Its supposed to stop butterflies getting in but I am more sceptical about the latter. Problem is though I think it blocks off a fair amount of light. Does anyone use an alternative?

Good morning all,
                          I went to my plot yesterday and noticed my early potato's have suffered frost damage and the leaves are are burnt. I must of missed the forecast for frost and I'm wondering if the plants will recover. They are on open ground and I see that some have been frosted on pots so I am fingers crossed that mine will recover. Any advice would be most welcome. I am annoyed with my error and missing the forecast. Thanks to all in advance.
