Rained off

Well i was all set for a full day on my allotment and went there with high enthusiasm.
I started by planting more seeds and potting on my cos lettuce.
I then planted out my shallots and onions and was very pleased with myself.
So i decided now was the time to start tidying up areas so i can develop new beds etc and managed to manure my rhubarb, cleared all the pruning's from last week and then pulled up all the weed prevention from my old strawberry bed as i am renewing this with all the same type of strawberries for either jam or wine making.
It was at this point i was rained off.
Before this i was quite worried hanging around the greenhouse with the wind gushing so strongly, especially after last year when a piece of glass had flown out and smashed into the ground.
The good news is i got a lot done in the few hours i was there and i also came across a large frog who i popped in to my new frog pond, fingers crossed it will be her new home and ill get tadpoles and then an army of slug eaters.

A few pics of my greenhouse filling up.
