Got this 2 weeks ago

This morning's effort - nearly there - daffs survived the winds and are looking fab-u-lous:

 

Looking fantastic!

 

Finally - finished off the left hand side fence. Also planted some Cherry Laurel:

 

Today:

preparing ground for my new poly tunnel;
supping tea;
stuffing chocolate in my face.

Mainly the last 2...

 

That picture - almost spot on - except that bloke has hair...

Working on back garden tomorrow - it never ends.

I notice that Morrison's have got their garden plants in - some very nice looking camellias included. Might pick some up for the allotment.

 

Wow. Just gone through this thread, very impressive clanless. All the hard work put in will pay off this year. It is a great transformation, well done.

Clanless I am enjoying this thread SO MUCH. Please keep posting your progress.

Particularly love the fence - simple but so professional border for your space.

 

I will do - haven't been down there since the lock down - although I've been told that it's still open. The quarterly plot inspection was due today - but all inspections have been cancelled for this year - a number of the allotment holders (like me) - prefer to stay at home and we don't want to penalize them.

My poly tunnel was delivered a couple of weeks ago - it's just sitting in the conservatory waiting to go down there and be assembled. I'll post up the pic's when it's done.

One upside - I purchased a load of flower seeds via the allotment association - to populate the garden here and the allotment. My Mum's garden will be getting the allotment plants - so it should look fab this year.

Don't know how my newly planted Cherry Laurels are doing - or the strawberry plants - or the apple saplings. The strawberry and apples were planted a couple of months before lock down - so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they have survived.

I'll see when we get out of the other side.

 

Lock down restrictions are being lifted here is Wales - I can now visit another household within a 5 mile radius if I maintain a 2m social distance.

My allotment is 7 miles away.....

 

I wouldn't worry it's only 2 miles extra and anything goes.

 

Just snuck down to the allotment for 5 mins - on the pretense that I was doing some local shopping.

As it was 7.30 pm - fairly safe bet no one else will be there. Someone was, but he also had to do some shopping (I don't believe him for one minute - sounds like an excuse to me). Didn't touch the lock or gate as the other guy waited for me by the gates. We did have a good moan though.

Looks like the cherry laurel and honeysuckle have survived as have the apple trees - but the weeds - my God - they're everywhere and 2 foot tall.

Most of the other allotments are in a similar state - it looks like a weed bomb has hit the place.

I was told that the Chair is self isolating as he is exhibiting some symptoms - he's in the high risk category - I'll pray that it is not Covid-19.

If I'm found out to have gone down the allotment - I'm in for the high jump....

 

Well, I've just been told that I can go down the allotment any time I want from the 17th August.

Eye watering photos to follow shortly after the first visit.
