Planted out some tomatoes, calendula, and something else, I'm sure. Watered a few things. Lamented how the birds are eating everything and breaking the stuff they're not eating when they're barging through. Covered a few things over, hopefully well enough that the birds can't get tangled in the netting. I'm getting rid of the plastic netting this year as it's awful to deal with, breaking down, and half or more is from previous plot holders, so in really bad shape. Got permission to scavenge the chain link fence in a forgotten corner of the site, hopefully to place horizontally on clear beds to keep cats off. Could conceivably cut it half height to make enclosures for beds that are easy to net. Left a few herbs in pots on the path to hopefully plant out tomorrow.
Heard sad tales of typically prolific tomato growers on the sister allotment site who have all but given up this year after the poor spring. My tomatoes are puny but they're getting their chance outside. Good luck, fellas.
