CATCHUP - The Shed is finally constructed

Today my old school Pal Richard Becker came down and he helped me with the construction of the shed for allotment.   I say shed,  but its very small,  still it keeps my tools locked away

 

Nearly there.....

Yay!!! constructed!!!!

Videos from the plot, from blackbirds to flocks of pigeons, to just old allotment normality

What a day it was.   You have seen the photos from earlier,  here are some of the videos  (oh and a video overview of what has been done so far)

Then these came along and scared off my blackbird friend.     think i need more sunday mornings like this,  i suppose its what i get for getting down very early!!!

Actually, this is a even better video of them,    caught up with them better,   lol

And finally....   a quick overview of how the plot is looking.   turnips, swede, different varieties of beans, pumpkins, leeks, all sown today

heck five minutes, i know how to go on. lol

A Blackbird Joins me for Breakfast

Had a fab day down the allotment today (Sunday)...   and as i was transplanting my beans....   and little birdie dived through my legs to catch this worm i had dug up...      did slightly scare me!   but to my astonishment my scream didnt scare the blackbird, oh no,  he stayed right with me, to allow me to get some close up pics without trying to move and frighten him!

Leave my sweetcorn alone Birdie!!!

 Thats more like it, eat your dinner   the worms, not my plants!!!

It cant be normal for Blackbirds to come this close.

I am currently uploading some videos i took on the allotment today to my youtube account, but they take hours to upload.  i will add the links later.

THURSDAY - Camping stove - sorted

Thursday, First day of my holidays.... and spent the full day down my allotment.   Sun Burnt yet again, despite putting a sun hat and glasses and tons of sun creme on.

Purchased a camping stove from B&M currently knocked down to £8.99.  they are £9.99 in morrisons, but be careful, i have seen these a damp site more expensive else where (even £35 at some outlets)/  Happy days down there so i can do me sen a bacon sarnie, and also got a wee kettle!

 Right on with the workload.    got a couple of rows of Garlic in,  top side, is the carrots coming through nicely

 The Potatoes (Below) have recovered well after being hit by a sharp frost last week

 Today i have transplanted my baby Sweetcorn plants...   got two different varieties in, hence the log!

That was Thursday,  a glorious hot and sunny day

Onions Sown - and planning the beds

Today, took this video, shows how much ive done so far, and how much is left to do (loads!!)

 

And after filming the above,  I cracked on with the onion bed,    and all the onions are now sown.
