Keen to get planting

[Snadger]

As the heading says, I am chomping at the bit to get planting. I've got three lots of shallots waiting in the wings and parsnip seeds are also ready to go in.

Hopefully the perma frost at the allotment will abate this weekend and i'll get a chance to at least plant some shallots and move some raspberries.

Because I couldn't work the soil, I thought I would use the wheel barrow to bring some free hoss muck from the communal heap and add it to the beds. After searching high and lo for my wheelbarow I came to the conclusion that some thieving toerag had chawed it! Ah wel, Ill just have to transport it in smaller amounts in a large plastic trug.
Is nothing sacred these days!

Mine has gone walkies twice this year as well Snadge, painted my plot number in purple paint on the bottom. Dont mind people borrowing it but at least have the courtesy to return it

They get nicked to use to transport other stuff that has been stolen

I try and paint things in such a way most people would be embarrassed to be seen with it. Shocking pink with flowers often works well. What ya reckon, do you fancy a pink wheel barrow there is no denying everyone on the site will soon know its yours.

Besides having our own barrows, we also had communal ones on the site for anyone's use. Maybe a thought Snadge.

Ditto. Probably not practical for a wheelbarrow but welding or cutting your postcode on it tends to help get it returned if it does go walked off site.

About 3 weeks after getting our 2nd plot, someone nicked our wheelbarow wheel.
