Henry and I went down to the allotment this afternoon, it was overcast and a bit rainy but we managed to do some tidying up. Henry found a very useful old paintbrush in the tip which he used to clean the outside of the greenhouse with the help of his metal bucket from Great Grandpa's. Then we both planted all of Great Nana's bulbs around the edge of the rhubarb patch, raspberry patch and in the rough ground at the edge of our plot. When they all flower it'll be lovely to think of Nana :-)

Mark (next door plot) or his grandad Carmine have obviously been building something in place of the chicken run that was previously there - quite a high wooden fence now, very professional looking - unfortunately they weren't there so we still have to guess what they are up to ! We are both secretly hoping for more chickens though !

We dug over a couple of the beds and removed some weeds, and then we put the remaining compost we had in the shed, and the worm wee that Erica gave us into the soil in the greenhouse and dug it over and watered it in.

We dropped off the borlotti beans in the shed and stored them with the other seeds we have.
