Happy New Year rom the allotment ladies!

In the mud!

My fenceposts at last! A heavy duty pallet on the heap today, so I grabbed it quick!

ChristmasDay 2009

Checked the lottie out, weather instruments and seed potato stash!Riverside walk next to the allotments fence.
A wier and bridge on the Witham.

Fresh Cut!

I can.t bear them, but the neighbours like 'em!

Tanner!

I found this whilst digging the plot this summer!

Its an 1890 sixpence.

I wonder what it would buy then?
Done a bit of research, so this tiny three quarter of an inch coin would have

had the equivalent buying power of about £12 by todays standards!

I received this wonderful staff as a gift from my good friends Richie and Jenni on the Gower Peninsula, South wales! Follow the link.

I visited the allotment today to melt the snow in the rain guage and check the

minimum temperature; a chilly -4ºC!

I have to check regularly for little footprints leading to the shed,

as the last thing I want is rodents eating my seed potatoes!

Complete with cammo trousers, Sandy!

Espalier!

Espalier, I have trouble spelling it!

Complete with wires, ready for growing my own kiwifruit.

The new plot number will get me a lot of mickey taking!

Strange goings on!

I strolled through the allotments on my way to the shops this morning, and it seems

someone has taken pity on Julien and provided him with a little weather protection!

Nice colour!They also left him a little friend, whom I shall name Sandy.

He badly needs a paint job!

MORE!!

A bit more plot has come up for grabs!
But this time I think I might be being greedy, serious thinking required!
