Borr 6,786 Posted March 28 Report Share Posted March 28 Well I've been three hours knocking together and varnishing pallet bands for two raised beds on mums new allotment also dug out ancient fuscias for the front of mine. Took two pallets bands up the wife's allotment , broke a fork that I've now got to fix , I can't see the enjoyment of owning an allotment it's just graft for something that costs a quid in the shop , back at it tomorrow to back fill about a ton into raised beds , also siliconed the green house that is about to fall down , they better grow some tasty veg sake.... 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The one 8,530 Posted March 29 Report Share Posted March 29 I thought i would be smart and pick up the fruit trees i want for my half barrels from poundstretcher but they all grow 10/12 foot high looking at suttons sales just now maybe £35 for 5 . Garden centers are far too dear might just grow tatties again then ditch the barrels 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
