Today I sorted out 2 disasters (I hope!). Arrived at the lottie to find a beautiful water fountain - one of the water trough couplings had come adrift - so I shut off the water to the entire allotment and contacted the co-ordinator and as it was her husband who fashioned a repair 2 weeks ago, it's their problem, so the council can have the water bill.
Then I got down to my plot to find one of the parafin heaters had thrown a wobbler and the greenhouse was a black house and everything was covered in soot. I had to take 12 trays of seedlings and the grape vine out, spray the soot off the leaves, then set to and clean out the greenhouse.
Now it's fingers crossed that everything survives. |
