What is the news?

Not a lot happens this time of year.

It seems a long time ago that the greenhouse was put up, but it was only two weeks ago. The new staging should arrive tomorrow, so more construction fun is in store.

I spend a few hours on the allotment yesterday, and and hour or so mid week. The vandals have been back: a few sheds burnt down and others turned over. Some cold frames were smashed and water butts over-turned or punctured. Our shed was entered, but no damage done, apart from footprints over the freshly dug beds and a the compost side pushed down. Hopefully the silliness will stop.

In the garden the start of the tidy up has started,trying to make it ready for spring after the mess of putting up the greenhouse and the shed.

Inside, there are a few seedlings started, but most will still be a few weeks away... I'm waiting for T&M to deliver the main order. It was good to see how many seeds we still have from last year that should be OK. A good chunk of the order was for Captain Custard, using his free voucher that came with his RHS membership.
