A busy day at the allotment

So another warm sunny day for April!
Yesterday at the allotment we were all by ourselves with no help from Martin's dad! We had to replace some of the panels on the shed side. We had to remove the window and then replace 8 panels.

We need a door for the shed now! Martin did a fantastic job.

It just needs a coat of paint now and its the best shed on the allotment!

While Martin was busy with the shed I planted my fruit bed. Planted some Strawberries 'Elsanta', a gooseberry bush, a redcurrant and my favourite, some rhubarb 'Timperly Early', shame that I won't be able to harvest any of that this year. There are a few flowers on my currant bush and hopefully I'll have some gooseberries.

It was great today met a couple of other plot holders, all coming to have a look at the shed! One chap has a shed which the front is completely made from old window panes. They are all very friendly.

The shed is up!

Martin's dad came round today to help us put the shed up, we had managed to get all the pieces up to the allotment thanks to a friend from the cricket club. The fun part was today trying to figure out which bits went where!! We hadn't seen the shed up so we didn't really know what to expect, apart from the fact that it had a small door!

We didn't realise when we got it out of the skip next to the nursery that it had a little balcony!! Here comes the roof.

We are slightly concerned that it make take off in the wind! So we have weighted it down. There is no door so we are going to have to sort that out and there are a few broken bits of one side which will need a bit of work. But I can't complain it was free!
The hard workers.

We have since put some roofing felt on, and after we have fixed all the extra bits on it and put a door on, I'll also give it a paint and it will be brilliant. The cutest shed on the allotment. I'd better not paint it pink.

While I was there today I also planted my second early potatoes 'Charlotte'. One of the tubers was heart-shaped!

Also planted my red onions 'Red Baron'.
