A Sunny Autumn Day

It was fantastic sunny weather to day. Up in the high teens this afternoon. Kids have gone to a birthday party so I grabbed a few hours to start the glass in the greenhouse and get some more beds dug ready for next years planting.
So much has happened in the allotment since my last post. The greenhouse frame is up, more beds have been dug and I've planted some onions and garlic bought from Chase Organics.




Hardy onions and garlic in the ground and a new bed for next years spuds.

Chase seem pretty reasonable and are certified organic suppliers but I've had an offer from Scott's Garden, my local organic vegetable supplier, for some seeds and tubers etc. I'll hold Chase in reserve and use Scott in the future.
The owners of next doors plot turned up whilst I was there today. Introductions were non existant and conversation didn't get beyond 'hello'. Still, at least they've started tidying up there plot.
The guy on the other side of me has also been busy and has lifted some of the sheeting to reveal some lovely weed free soil just ready for digging and planting.

I put some weed cover down in the floor of the greenhouse. I'll attach this to the wooden base with a staple gun and hope that will suppress the couch grass.
