The tomatoes are picking up in the polytunnel and thriving on the rainwater, but the staging is not up yet. It's been a real blighter and the instructions were pretty rubbish to start with, but after being munched by a snail/slug (is there anything they don't eat?!) and consequently full of holes, they were even more interesting to decipher.
I think David and I have cracked it and it's halfway done - until we realise we've put it on back to front and the last piece doesn't fit, probably.
Inbetween the showers we had a delivery of a sofa and chair (a member of the community association was throwing them out and asked if we would like to recycle them). They're made of wicker and suitable for outdoors, just the cushions need taking in. It's the first seating we've had, and although it looks maybe a little surreal on an allotment, I think it fits in perfectly, and I could get used to sitting on the sofa and watching other people work. If only :)
Today I managed to weed the leek/onion bed, which was harbouring just a few snails, and plant some teasel, which is from seeds of the one in my garden.
Courgettes are blooming in the polytunnel.
