After salvaging a greenhouse door from a greenhouse that blew down on the allotments, today was spent building a wooden frame for this to turn it into a coldframe.
This should hold plants that get transferred to the allotment for a bit and hopefully stop them dying on their first day in the open.
In true MasterCard style:-
Cost of wood, door and two of the glass panes - Free
Hinges and third pane - £5
Walking into B&Q for just the hinges and walking out with another power tool - Priceless.
Hey...I'm a bloke.... we're allowed to do things like that ;-)
Medic!!!............There was also another casualty of war ( huh-yeah, What is it good for?, Absolutely nothing, Uh-huh)..... sorry... I just came over all Edwin Starr there for a moment. The graveyard of tools that have fallen foul of weeds on my plot grew yet again with the addition of another spade which has gone to join private Fork.
Lots more digging of the two plots yet to be planted and they're coming on a treat. Next year should be much easier.
