    Yeah once the asbestos is gone then you should be able to get stuck into it.

        I'm a bit reluctant to begin anything on the possible route the lorry will take as owing to the rain, they have already managed to compact some of the ground and created two "wildlife ponds".

          Maybe you can use these new 'ponds' as a mass snail/slug drowning grave, I found a metal container full of water on sunday at my new plot so I collected up as many as I could find all day and dumped them all in the water as I went.

                Finally, the long awaited phone call to tell me the tree has been removed so now its panic time to get the ground sorted out for the winter but first I think I'll have a cuppa and a biscuit to calm down.

                    I went to the allotment last Saturday after having not been for a few days, to see if the Roundup had been successful. Blimey! I didn't realise the stuff was so good as not only had the weeds gone but the whole plot had been ploughed! Roundup is incredible

                        I didn't see one but I did think the container was a bit heavy, even when empty so maybe there was a time switch which activate after a few days and the plough appeared from a secret compartment. Of course it could have been some allotment umpalumpas.

                          Well if you are looking for what you can still plant there was a very good thread on the vegging out forum for autumn planting stuff.

                          And damn you now I have the Oompa loompa song stuck in my head...
