Or the canniest two around? The vervain (far corner) and the lemon balm (near). Winter seems to keep coming back! We had a dusting of snow over the weekend, and it's forecast to fall below zero again tonight. Clever plants for not falling for the sunny spells!

One of the photos I submitted tonight to the Kent Wildlife Trust's Gardening Award Scheme 2008. My finger's are crossed! :o)

How the freshly sieved topsoil from the 'cold end' (the end which receives the least sun and should therefore hopefully not be the main home to the wildlife) of the old compost heap (see towards top of photo) looked spread out on veg bed 02. How healthy soil should look: nice n' dark! Tomorrow I hope to start on creating the purpose-built reptile habitat.

My favourite view of the plot (and about the best 'entire' I can get for now seeing as how I'm currently without a panorama/photo-stiching program - about time I looked into getting a new one!) :o)
Total Allotment Time: 2 & 1/2hrs.
Principle Tasks: Sieving the soil from the old compost heap and spreading 5cm deep (approx) onto veg bed 02.

Hi Jimmy! I was just beginning to worry :) Firefox would be a good choice for a new browser, yes (I keep meaning to re-download it myself).
The WWT looks to be a super site - cheers for putting us on to it! I'm hoping Blidfinnur the whooper swan will pay me a visit - only a couple of hundred miles to go! I'll be sure to check out the other.
Cheers for the good wishes concerning the competition - There can't be that many allotments around that can boast a purpose-built reptile hibernaculum!
The old compost/topsoil mound is their current home I reckon. It's the main reason I'm building them a new one - I fear my intended shed wouldn't suit them.
Cheers for the heads-up over the bee - I've updated it's tag, thanks.
Must leave it there as I've loads of new photos to upload, and it's already gone one - thank god it's the weekend, eh!
Glad to have you back,
Tim :o)x
