I reckon i can tell anyone who owns an alottment this time of the year, we have all got longer arms than anyone else, from all the carrying of the watering cans.
Kind regards Old Herbaceous.

Just a little something to cheer all you allotment waterers up.

No Chantal, thats because they are "12 toes" from Rugby. I saw that albino in the tree by your plots when I visited and was most disturbed when I got the morning papers only to find that the shop sold banjo strings.
Deliverance country indeed, thats why they have long arms.

On our privately owned allotment the water-pump is always breaking. It is looked after by the allotment holder next to it, who mends it and fits it when he is there, but removes it when he goes, to protect it from vandalism or theft. Of course, usually I'm there when he is not.
So I bought a different, stronger pump. It has taken me all year to arrange it so that I can mount it on and remove it from the existing framework and at long last on Tuesday am I was able to extract about 250 litres from the ground. I have cut a few keys to my shed so that others in my position can access the pump.
From Thursday onwards we've had a lot of rain. All our water butts are now full and we won't need the pump. Next year will see the benefit perhaps, but now I know how to make it rain.
