  • So glad I stored the pallet in the poly tunnel so that I could work on it on a rainy day . How do you think it turned out . Not bad for a cobble together I think

    Don't listen to those picking holes in what you do, it's your allotment, your channel, your life - you do you! Can't wait to see the herb garden finished, what a great idea! Jealous of your rhubarb, it doesn't grow over here, I soooo miss my crumbles lol. Hope Mick is doing well. xx

    Bodge or not Sarah, you achieved what you wanted. Once your boxes are painted they will look great. My hubby made some about 4 years ago for herbs and they are still going strong. So i think that was a job well worth doing.
    Your stone path looks lovely. Thats a job you can spread over a period of time. Buying a bag of stones when you can. Having paths that don't get riddled with mud is a definite bonus.
    Well done with your efforts, things are really coming together. As for tiding 😂 it'll get done, when it irritates you enough.
    Catch you next time. Xxx
