"A little rain never hurt anyone" said Ezekiel to Noah

In beautiful England with its rolling hills and delightful beaches we have been getting wet. It has rained and rained and rained and rained!!
Not drizzle, not light showers but tipping it down. In plain English "we have got pissed on" for about 3 weeks now.
Today however I had had enough; with my wet weather gear on, a flask full of freshly made coffee and bursting with determination I pushed myself out the door.....

So what has been going on:

 My mustard seed has started to grow but not much. Maybe an inch at most.

As you can see I have more weeds than everything else but where the fork is and the left hand side of the bed closest to us is scattered with the mustard seed. Now I had surveyed the scene time for a break....

Deserted allotment + hot flask of coffee = Bliss

A trick learnt on the building site; how to use a wheel barrow as a seat  ( remember to remove coffee first) 

In the background is the start of my compost heap...

da daah!!

As you can see I used 5 pallets. I tied them together with a tough garden string, then fashioned stakes out of some 2" x 1" ( 2inch by 1inch) wood. I hammered these in down the side of the pallets for a little extra stability. Being a gardener I gather a lot of other peoples green waste, perfect for my compost...

A good few hours graft. Now on to the shed. I have looked around and have decided that for the money it will be cheaper for me to build my own. I shall of course capture my efforts and share them with you every step of the way. 

Take care and carry on Gardening x
