Total Allotment Time: 3hrs Principle Tasks: Continuing to put down a narrow strip of black plastic between my border L-bed and my neighbour's pallet fence to help discourage weeds from growing there. Using old pallet wood to fill the gap between mine and my other neighbour's chipped-bark path (unfinished). Putting down an edge (also with old pallet wood) along the entranceway to the plot to help keep the bark chippings in place. Laying down a woven weed barrier along path and replacing bark thereon (unfinished).

Hi Jimmy.
> Another busy week I see..
And a good job it was as, it looks like I'm going to be on hold the best part of a week with the rain :o( Oh, for a shed! :o)
I answered your first querie in a subsequent post, so shaln't bother to here. I didn't notice that cobweb, and yes, that could well be a spider hiding there - well spotted!
> I think my gardening days may have come to an end...
Let's hope not! As one of my favourite quotes goes: "Gardening is an active participation in the deepest mysteries of the universe" Thomas Berry.
> I wonder if like the farmers you could do an autumn sowing to get an early start and to give the ground cover over the winter?
Certainly in the future I will, but this year I'll content myself with thickly covering the beds with manure.
Scottish apples? Not a patch on the Kentish ones I suspect :o) Try looking on the Brogdale Fruit Collection site (which is only a couple of miles distant from me): http://www.brogdale.org/
> I bought a rhubarb plant once..
Yes, mine came from a local garden so it might do okay (although I think I may of planted it too deeply). I shaldn't be too distressed if it does fail, as I would prefer to have named varieties of things - just my being over-idealist again though :o)
All the Best,
Tim :o)x
