Grow my beauties, grow!

 
This is the water feature/spawn of frog haven. I took the spawn and the water from our communal pond. There are many little nooks and crannies around the back for creatures to hide and as I plant around the outside, I'll add some rocks etc, so it should be a nice little area for wildlife.
And it cost bugger all! :) 50 or so spawn are doing well on a staple diet of pork sausage. 

Blimey

 
Isn't it amazing (and a little scary) what neighbouring plotholders keep in their sheds? Next time you're down your plot, you'll be staring and wondering now :D 

Water Collection

 
Have also finished the main water collection area. The shed roof is twice the size of its floor, and with the lean-to at the side, it collects a good load of rain. The blue butt is full, so going to build a large area for it to spill over in to out of timber and line it will several layers of plastic sheeting. You can never have enough water! 

Seed Bed

 
Finished the seed bed at the top of plot, complete with coldframe cover, hinged too :) This will be a great spot to start alot of veg and herbs off over the next few weeks while there's still a threat of frost. 

Foot Scraper

 
This little beast has really come in handy whilst we've been laying the paths across the plot. All it is is an old spade head that I've smacked into the ground with my lump hammer. Great for getting that 12 inches of mud off your boot! 

Greenhouse Update

 
Well, thats the frame finished. Still need: a window each side, a vent in the roof with temp controlled arm, some slabs down the centre, a door on runners and, oh yes, some perspex sheets.

But alas its Bank Holiday Sunday and every bloody where is closed. 

The greenhouse is still underway.

 
Getting there. Taking longer to treat the bugger than build the bugger, hehe. 

The greenhouse is underway.

 
After alot of thought, design, cups of tea, beer, wine and a little more thought, and perhaps a small bit of measuring, the two ends of my greenhouse are built and treated.

I have been accused of making a "swing" and becoming an Apache Indian since I have bungie tied them together like that in order to treat them. Hehe. 

Me.
