Growing tomatoes is part of next year's allotment schedule.

That's so unfortunate that the group has been hijacked by MRA and incel supporters. I hope the group either helps them to stop spewing this rhetoric or moves on without them disrupting it further.

A metal shed with black roof and brown walls and doors.

A metal shed with black roof and brown walls and doors.

The shed is up. It took much longer than I expected and I'll have to redo the floor as the current setup isn't safe, but that can be done later. Next is getting the guttering up to start filling the 4 water butts I have.

Today's task was getting the flooring frame secured, then breaking up 2 pallets and cutting planks to fit.

The laminate flooring was acquired from what someone had dumped at the side of the road.

I'll be putting a workbench and folding chairs on that area.

Today I started getting the base ready for putting the shed up on Saturday.

I made a few mistakes with measuring, buy was able to rectify them.

The first picture is the shed site from May, the second of how overgrown it had got and the third is the result of 3 hrs digging, prior to next week's build

Agreed, to me it's a horrible Americanism.

I dread trying to use a shower type I've not encountered before. It means I have to turn it on while avoiding being scalded or flash frozen.

Not sure I like the idea of private companies running allotments, it feels like the situation with utility companies and that makes me wary about how much profit they're looking to make.

That's why I downloaded yhe Worde app. It's the same word as Wordle but allows me to avoid NYT.

Turns out it was 20lbs of chain that he used as part of his weight training.

I was confused because I couldn't imagine anyone wearing a chain that wasn't gold or silver, but having read a different story it appears he was wearing jewellery that was magnetic.

What isn't explained is why he was wearing the chain.

Bee spotting is a wonderful activity to do on my allotment. When the chives were in flower there was a type of bee that I'd never seen before that favoured those flowers more than any other.

Ah, another white male accused of awful behaviour blames everything being woke rather than apologise.

I've been on the allotment again this afternoon as I've not been on for awhile and didn't fancy doing anything in next week's heat. It was a bit overwhelming seeing what's grown up, the worst is the Horsetail / Equisetum, which pops up everywhere, even areas that have already been dug.

I'd heard about it, my partner raved about it and had considered seeing the film, glad I didn't after reading the Observer article about her criminal deception.

Great article and new place names, but for me real life locations will always be more fascinating take Stock Gaylard, Dorset as an example.

I'm pretty sure that's an attempt to make people think they made a mistake leaving Musk's toxic pipeline.

Certain surgical staff demand specialist equipment even though our business relies on a standardised approach to cataract surgery. Some hospitals consume more than 3000 biscuits a week.
