Vinny's Allotment Plot

Well, foxgloves are starting to open and they are the common and garden purple version.........which I kinda like!

A couple more hours spent in the sunshine today before I started flagging with the heat! Started by clearing last years tomatoes and pots from the tumbledon greenhouse. Docks and nettles were slowly taking the greenhouse over. Isn't it strange that however you try to avoid nettles, they always seem toget you in the end. With bare legs it wasn't a pleasant experience!
My large water butt at the outside corner of the greenhouse had subsided a bit and broke an upper pane of glass with the overflow pipe that jutted out. I decided to try and manouvre  it slightly away from the greenhouse, on it's stand when it is still 3/4 full of water.  By using shvel and spade I managed to shift it but I will have to manufacture summat toget the water from the hreenhouse roof to the butt?

Anyway, among other stuff I had brought to allotment was a grapeine I was growing in a large pot at home to utilise some of the greenhouse space.This I positioned where the water butt  had been and plan to train it through the broken glass paneand into the greenhouse. This was a cutting I took from a grapevine I had many years ago and I know it gives a good crop of pink grapes under cover. I brroke up the paving slab under the pot to allow the roots to go from the bottom of the pot into the soil as I don't have to be watering it all the time.

I emptied the old potting compost from the tomatopots and as quite surprised that some of the were still moist after being under cover?

Apart from a bit of hand weeding that was allI I got done with two hours graft................so I went fishing!
