A LARPing, 5k running, allotment gardening old guy.
The pic on the left was how the plot looked a year ago when we took in on. The one on the right is how the same area looks now.

Today's job on the allotment was raking loose stuff off a plot and then covering it so the remaining grass dies off over winter.

A tough run as I nearly got a stitch in the last mile, not sure if I've got the determination to push myself and get back to my PB levels.

Yesterday I was on the allotment doing prep jobs for next year. The main raised bed got a base layer of fallen before it's filled with soil. I also knocked together a cold frame, which will help with seedlings.

Today I've been digging out the remaining saplings on the plot and rearranging some of the permanent features such as bench and raised flower beds.

Clearing the last of the weeds from the strawberry patch and planting out the ones that had been in tubs.

I saw this caterpillar on the allotment and was wondering if anyone knows what butterfly / moth it'll grow into?

Today's allotment jobs were clearing the path between us and the wild plot.

Burning the grass I cleared last week and making a raised enclosure for my rhubarb so I can feed the roots with a compost / manure mixture.

Back on the allotment to finish, prune my gooseberries and clear the undergrowth from the wild section.

The shed is up. It took much longer than I expected and I'll have to redo the floor as the current setup isn't safe, but that can be done later. Next is getting the guttering up to start filling the 4 water butts I have.
