Polytunnel Eviction Day!

Had some sunshine today for a change, long time since we've seen it!  So headed down to Plot 119 for a busy day.  First of all we cleared out the sad looking polytunnel which has not really survived the winter very well, more like a big fishing net with all the holes in it.  Got rid of all the junk and cleared out the shed to put in all the things worth keeping.  Moved out the big planting table as well, will keep that as quite useful.  Cleared some of the woodchips from the floor to make another path then took the polytunnel apart.  Keeping some of the metal work, will find a good use for it I expect.  Now we are left with another good sized planting plot and it has really opened up the whole allotment, really pleased.  Wish we could move the shed behind the greenhouse now to tidy things up but expect it would fall apart if we tried to shift it!  Planning to buy a new one eventually.  Simon had a good clear up in the greenhouse, getting ready for the chillies, made sure all his new huge plant pots fit.  Nice to be working in the sun although still pretty chilly.  Also Simon went and saw the chairman who was on the site, managed to get a big water storage container for £2, perfect for collecting rainwater and even better when Simon puts a tap in the bottom  Bargain.  Met a few more allotmenters last night as we went to the AGM, good to get involved.
