My allotment progress

Hi back by popular demand well @Gail_68 at least hahaha

Now I have the tunnel up I have been concentrating on getting the inside sorted

A potting bench


Start of some shelving


Two beds in and filled


Only plants in at the mo are the grapes


Outside the 4 permanent beads are done from top left clockwise..
Asparagus, Gooseberries, Strawberries, Dahlias and other flowers.


Any comments, suggestions or questions are always welcome

Thanks for looking

James

 

Fantastic! What grape varieties have you planted?

 

Well James i can't help it, liking to see what other members are achieving as it's nice

One thing that worries me with this pic is the paving...you are going to stable it better than that as it looks a bit dangerous mate for walking on but other wise great achievements mate

 

Hi yes the paving is only temporary while I fill the beds, then I’ll take them up, level them and put them back down in he middle with bark chips around them

 

Well i'm pleased the path is on temp as i was thinking dangerous for yourself but otherwise everything is coming along just great

 

Much better nice and tidy

 

@Cassie one is Vroege Van Der Laan and the other is Boskoop Glory

 

What lovely names. I've just ordered two for myself, the slightly less exotic sounding 'sultana' and 'beauty'. Many varieties had sold out, so may need to expand the collection next year

 

James did you feel my foot from this end mate ....that's more like it

 

Hi all I have had the plants in the tunnel for about 2-3 weeks now and all seem to be doing well.

Not got the more delicate plants in as it is still dropping too low at night




I have also build a half door insert

 

Hi James I must say mate you've got it organised nicely and at least better weather is with us during the day

 

Hi all hope it’s hot enough for you all it’s great to see everything spring onto growth

Managed get hold of some pallets for the plot I have taken out the middle span and used the wood to make a base so when its placed on end I can put pots in for plants to trail down and staked into the ground to form a fence

 

James brilliant imagination mate ….definitely different to normal fencing besides your plants along the edging

 

Hi @Jimb0b I hope your keeping well mate

I haven't seen you on for a bit so was just wondering how your allotments doing and if you've made any more progress

 

Hi @Gail_68 hi I’m good hope you are too

Nothing major been happening a few more pallet panels gone in, the odd plant put in think I’ll do an update at the weekend we are having an open day Saturday at the allotments so I’ll add a couple of pics from there if it’s nice.
