West Mills Allotment

On Sunday I was cajoled out of bed to work for a lady called Sally, who has recently taken on a plot at West Mills Allotment. She is situated about 10 metres from the canal and gets most of her sunlight after 1pm:

Sally, on the left, deciding where to start... 

Sally is going to grow a range of different cut flowers.

SALLYS TIP OF THE DAY

When you pick your potatoes eat them within 2 hours. They taste their best then and you only need to cook them for 8 minutes

I was asked to lay a base for her shed which was arriving at 7.30 the next morning.

Materials Used (based on an 8ft x 6ft shed):

450mm x 450mm slabs

14 bags of sharp sand

2 bags of building sand

ask for "3 x 4.2m 4'"x 1" treated timber"

Screws

2x spirit levels

Rubber mallet

Sunny day (not included)

Voila, 4 gruelling days later....

I will continue this another time, good night x
