    Busy week, but today I managed to get to the allotment and made a start on cutting back the buddleia, which is not in the flooded part of the allotment. Also cleared some leaves, harvested a carrot and the men came and replaced the garden fence.

    No gardening time tomorrow.

    Stuck at home until various people get in contact, which probably means all day. The allotment is flooded anyway so not much I can do there until the water goes down.

    next two days I’ll be sleeping so won’t get anything done
    over weekend I need to do a tip run maybe fill one of the made beds I’d like to make a new cage that fits my beds the tunnel I have just isn’t big enough and I have an old pallet and some fine mesh already and finally if the fittings arrive get the final bed put together.
