One draw back to allotmenteeeing is that its just work, work, work. Just never a second to relax.

Rather sad in a way, i managed a good few months here without having to block negative postings. Particularly in the gardening areas. First one just blocked, they are sneaking in. Just let people enjoy their lives. A critical analysis by a 3rd party is not required

Todays only planned job is to get these guys in the ground. But with time on my side, who knows what wonderful procrastination I can get up to?

In a strange twist of fate. I find that on a Sat/Sun. I really enjoy waking up early (5ish) amd enjoying the calmness of the world at this time. Some music and a little bit of me time is priceless.

Silly Q time greenfingers. I started leeks too early and had to start again. A few people advised to sprinkle on a pot and leave them to go.

Well i did. Now what do I do? Leave them or pot on. If so how? Lol

So we have the frame of a fairly large Polly in our site. We want to get a cover for this year but want a reasonable price for this. Anybody have any suggestions?
