Re. earlier repost... today was well oorlich! The damp greyness certainly seeped all the way to my bones. Now on a couch under a blanket with the laptop warming me.

Rain and dark stopped play at #allotment. We really need to work on getting earlier starts now these so so short days are upon us.

The #polytunnel garlic is now in... 26x Kingsand Wight, 25x Picardy Wight, and 60x of the fattest "Wonky" bulbs. Not quite as many as I'd hoped to get in in total, but it brings us up to 243 garlics planted.

Started putting in the winter seedlings but as the temperature dropped a couple of degrees my glasses started steaming up and I couldn't see shit. Need to consider contacts again perhaps.

Our allotment AGM today and we made a significant step towards increased biodiversity on our site. Agreeing in principle to allow small-scale ponds on individual allotment plots.

We need to agree the specifics of the ponds that will be allowed (size, depth, materials used, sustainability, location etc) but provided plot holders meet this criteria they will be allowed small ponds on site next year.

Exciting to absolutely no one but me BUT I finally managed to build a proper composting area yesterday. With bays I’ll be able to turn my compost regularly which will speed up decomposition. I’ve been tight for space with the one half but already enjoying the wiggle room that comes with a full plot #allotment
