Allotments 4 All

making an obelisk to grow my sweetpeas and some beans up! It took about 2 1/2 hours to make.



the cost was £2.50  ;D  (half a bundle of roofing batons from a builders)
Nails free (all my leftovers!)
Paint free  (see above!)

Was huge amounts of fun and quite easy!

That looks great DP, you make it sound so easy, maybe I should give it a go.  :)

I need to make something for my melon to clamber up, that looks just right, okay, tomorrow I'm on the scrap wood hunt!  :)

well that looks great it was so cheap to make would cost alot more to bye and looks very  smart could do with a few of them myself

:o What with Plockets trellis and Dotty Pees tower you're putting us blokes to shame :-[ I couldn't even spell that let alone build it :o ;D

Fab obelisk DP.   ;D

You're an artist DP.  that looks great, functionable as well as classy to look at.   Imagine how much you would pay for that at a Garden Centre.  Well done!  :) busy_lizzie

That looks really good! Most impressed.

Might try and make one for my squashes and melons....

Great stuff, looks fab!  ;D

Thanks all, I don't know if it would stand up to stringent inspection from a carpenter ;D 
If anyone wants the plans for it let me know and I can copy them (came from an old magazine yonks ago) and post them out to you! :)  DP

Yes please!

Sure I can scrounge some timber from somewhere...

PM me your address Gadfium and I shall get them out to you!

Looks like very hard work Doris ! Well done and good luck with the climbers.
:D

FANTASTIC! Welll done DP. I'm no expert with nails and a hammer but my OH is....have to sow the seeds of an idea with him.

Clever clogs!  Very smart indeedy.  Defo need more pictures when it is insitu with green clothes on.

repotting my seedlings into bigger pots.  It took me til 6.30 pm and the day just flew by.  Kitchen looked a bit of a mess by the time I'd finished.  I had to laugh - I was thinking I'm glad I've not got as many as EJ.  I wouldn't like to repot that lot  ;D ;D ;D   My repotted seedlings are now all over my spare rooms.  Got too many Gardeners Delight and Mortgage Lifter tomatoes as they all germinated.  I'll be able to sell the excess at a plant fayre we're having in May

This morning I will be mostly sowing courgettes  :)

Hey that is fab. I hope you are very chuffed with yourself and giving yourself lots of good vibes! ;D

Any more for anymore? I have 8 more sets of instructions ready to go in the post if anyone else is interested!  ;D

Brilliant !  Even with the plans, I wouldn't know where to start !   ::)

Hey Dottie,  I could offer you B & B in the picturesque Pennines.   :)

P.S. Don't forget the wood !   ;)  ;D
