Hubby has had an allotment for a couple of years and really enjoyed going there and of course we have enjoyed the produce from it.
Early in the year his shed was broken into and some stuff trashed but nothing valuable in there anyway, next thing was the storm that took the roof off the shed so off he went with tool kit to repair. Now the virus is around and he can't go as he has to get the bus there and as we both have health conditions we are not going out.

Hubby is missing both the exercise and the outdoor as the sun is out and very pleasant outside. SO I have agreed that he could dig up the flower bed and prepare it as a veg bed. Agreed on Monday all dug out now and ready for him to sort into areas for his veg.
Not a big plot but will keep him busy for a while.

:-D :-D

LOL the wiles of Women!!!

Don't know what you mean Bob ;-) :-D :-D

Hope he has got all the seeds he needs at home.

Yes Sue he has a collection that he keeps here, I think he misses the other people as they share things and if they grow to much they will pass it on to someone. They are a nice little community and all retired as the younger ones around here don't seem interested. in allotments.
The garden patch will suffice for now I hope.

Last week OH mentioned he would dig a little veg patch on our lawn for something to do if we are in lockdown all summer.
Yesterday he asked me where I wanted it. Apparently it was never for him :-P

Well if he does do it for ' you ' I hope you like the veg he grows.

I love all veg so am easy to please with what he grows.
I have been wanting him to grow rhubarb but he hasn't as of yet. So when the lockdown is over I'll pester him again. :-D

Him grow veg. Ha ha. No, this was for me :-S

So he dug it today - rally painful to watch - he has no idea! I’d even told him this morning that my hay fever was starting - I could go on.......

Oh for you to grow veg. :-D that's kind of him. :-)

My daughter has an allotment and she is allowed to use it.....however the car trip needs to be justified......??

Statement from Greater Manchester Police Thursday 1508 [following the announcement that we must not travel in order to exercise.]

"Greater Manchester police have confirmed that members of the public are allowed to travel to and from allotments as part of their daily exercise set out by the government.

The clarification comes after a BBC Radio Manchester listener asked the chief constable, Ian Hopkins, if they could still tend to theirs."

Ive been going to my allotment ,,,,,,and we all have observed the rules,even more so as we are so far apart we have to use sign,,,plus we are not anyway allowed on anyones elses plot, and have notices up ,,,,but I only have ashort distance to go but dropped off by car and picked up so have been able to keep a better distance frpm others,...…

Yes if he could drive he would be going as easy to stay away from others but it's the bus journey he won't take the chance with.

Still we are grateful with have a garden and not in a flat or place without one as friends of ours are.

I feel very sorry for only children. They've got no one to argue with ;-)
