What a transformation!  Well done!
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

Thanks guys, much appreciated  :)

It's so frustrating when I've got so much to do and the nights are closing in. We don't close the shop until 5.30 (6 days) and it's about 6.15 before I get anywhere near the allotment. Dark by 8 now  :(. I have to keep telling myself that it doesn't all need to be done now but that doesn't stop me wanting some portable flood lights  ;D ;D

 :wave: Juliet, really hope you get yourself sorted as soon as possible. I'm sending energy vibes up to you as I type  :).
I've no shortage of pallets as we get at least one a week at the shop. The trick is to stop the roving pallet takers from getting them before they go in my van  ::)

Thanks again,

Ian

My plumb tree has died, we bought it last year and it looked healthy then all of a sudden, after the leaves formed, they started to go brown then die...think it may have had something to do with planting it in a spot where there had been a pond, there may have been too much gas or something from the very wet area and the frost did it in!!!! or maybe not, other things are fine!!!
