Super Cloche and Fettling the Greenhouse
This weekend there is bad news on the cauliflowers, a plot inspection from my gardening guru and fettling (from the Middle English fet len ? to make ready) the part for the greenhouse. Plus the super cloche bargain buy.
Busy on the plot with Broad Beans, Sweetcorn and More
Transporting plants from home to plot and trying to rescue the sweetcorn. Plot five attempts to emulate a paddy field, which hampers planting further

Between the rain and the plague, the allotment is getting pretty neglected. The list of things to do grows longer but it is like a marsh on the site.

The trauma of working through a beautiful day and the joys of sneaking off early to the plot to plant onions and brassicas
Greenhouse Problems and Mantis Tiller to Work
The greenhouse threatens to never be erected and has, in fact, taken a step backwards as I have to remove bits as a template! At least the Mantis worked for me.

The greenhouse construction project stalled unexpectedly just as it seemed to be going so well. Plan B failed so onto plan C!
Rebuilding the Greenhouse and Lawn Care
Greenhouse construction hardly goes smoothly and the shocking price of nuts and bolts drives up my blood pressure. Plus some lawn care at home which involves a rather distasteful job.

Building the greenhouse base from timber beams and too much chatting and drinking tea on the plot so not too much work was achieved.
