        Well done you = Hopefully it's fairly clean. If not, you'll be spending the next few weeks weeding and digging. Then you can plant overwintering onions and garlic, and it's not too late to get winter brassicas (kale, PSB and spring cabbage) in if you can get hold of some plants.

          Yay, Danny - great news. Congratulations - just in time for the GC to start selling the over winter brassicas, as RL says!
          Whooops - now what are the dogs getting up to?

              Hopefully, that is the one thing I am not looking forward to, tomorrow fingers cross it will be ok.

                      Hey all

                      Just a quick update, been down to the allotment today is in an ok condition, nothing major. The most important thing to do is to get a shed put up, has anyone built there own, I don't want to buy a shed from B&Q and places like that.

                        You can sow kohlrabi this time of year. I thin the purple one is meant to be best for an autumn crop. Good luck with it all.

                          I got my shed off freecycle so we paid nothing for it apart from some new felt for the roof and a good lick of paint. Had to take it down and put it up but well worth it. I just put a wanted post up and got a couple of replies in days

                          Some of us live in the past, always talking about back then. Some of us live in the future, always planning what we are going to do. And, then there are those, who neither look behind or ahead, but just enjoy the moment of right now.

                          Which one are you and is it how you want to be?

                            I got a Chicken Coop from the Lincolnshire Wildlife trust and they delived it for me well, I gave them £5 donation. It does for what I need shelter from the rain and a place to have a cup of tea.

                              Congrats Daniel. Good to read you didn't inherit a jungle. Japanese over-wintering onions and garlic are a good bet (wilkinsons do them cheaper than a GC).
