Measured up Polytunnel and Pulled up Weedliner on Allotment 2 and done some more digging of Allotment 2

Today I went down to the Allotments and also had my mum help me to measure up the Polytunnel in order to get a new Polythene sheet for it. I then went onto Allotment 2 and I pulled up some weedliner from where the Polytunnel will be sighted. Under this there appears to be a lot of Couch Grass which I will dig up over the next week and hopefully will be putting the Polytunnel here over Easter. I started to dig over some more of the ground that leads to this but unfortunately due to it getting quite windy and also starting to rain I had to stop. The weather today was a wet and rainy morning before clearing up to leave it sunny before some brief showers in the afternoon with some gusty winds and then clearing up once again in the late afternoon to leave a really sunny afternoon. Feeling quite warm in the sunshine.

Went down to Allotment in late Afternoon and laid weedliner in front of Greenhouse

Today I went down to the Allotments in the afternoon due to having work in the early morning. Me and my uncle made three trips to the tip taking a lot of rubbish which was put in the polytonal from the day before. I then went back down in the late afternoon and I laid down two pieces of weedliner in front of the Greenhouse cutting them to size. I then put down the Terracotta woodchippings that I brought from Homebase a few weeks back. The concrete slabs that lead to the Greenhouse were then put on top of this. The taps have finally been fitted by the council after much anticipation so I will now be able to water my sweet peas that are in the Allotment Greenhouse. The weather today was quite a sunny day with some cloud about. Temperatures around 8 Degrees celsius once again. Last night there was some rain before a hard frost which meant that the rain that fell froze in the night.

Today I didn't go down to the Allotments as I had work in the afternoon. However my Nan, Mum and Uncle went down and cleared the allotment of rubbish bags and bagging up some rubbish in order for me to take it down to the tip. The Polytunnel was cleared out and most of the stuff put into the Greenhouse for the time being. The rubbish bags was then put in the Polytunnel in order to all be in one place. No work was done on Allotment 2 today. The weather today was sunny and temperatures around 8 Degrees Celsius.
