I have just staggered home after a stint at the plot.
Today's efforts were
3 more buckets of white weeds
dug out 4 shrubs in the wrong place
set up and lit a bonfire for the white weed roots.
The bonfire is in an old coal hod that had a rotten bottom. I propped it on bricks to give a draught and it makes a good incinerator. I managed to burn quite a bit of the pile, and naughtily left it burning....but it is safe. There is loads more to do but I have made a start.
There were lots of plotters working away this afternoon....it is a real pleasure to be among such good company. We nattered a bit about this and that, and compared plots and progress. All in all a very good afternoon.
When I got home I found DH had walked the dogs so I have collapsed!
No photos.....a) it was very gloomy and dull, and b) I forgot the camera!, and c) it wouldn't have been very interesting as it is just more of the same!
Tomorrow I have to be here as DH has a hospital appointment on the Mainland. I will do some compost spreading in my Kitchen Garden and some more soil shifting into the new beds.

I have not been to my allotment for about a week and feeling very guilty - hoping to get down at the weekend, i would have loved to have taken a day of work and down a bit of work on my allotment
Well done! I have not ventured to the allotment yet this year. How bad is that? It's been a wasted day today but theres always tomorrow. You seem to be getting on really well......... you don't fancy a spot of digging do you? No - thought not!
I must admit that I do feel very privileged to be able to go there during the week. We are semi retired so growing our own veg really helps stretch the finances!
Thanks for sharing your day. Hope all is ok re; DH's hospital appointment.
