I looked out of my bedroom window this morning about 7-30 and I thought I was seeing things there was a body walking to the allotment gate whith a spade on his shoulder lo and behold it was only OH going to do some digging .I went over about one hour later and OH had gone for breakfast , but he had done a big piece of digging on one of his plots, he came back later and did some more.He is trying to catch up with me I dug my plots in the autumn?

Morning Codger, now if you were to bring a torch out, i could be digging now... I'm going to try and get another big lump dug today, and then i will be getting on top of it a little. More rain forecast for tonight, so that's a little annoying.

I will be over later on to slow you up I don't want you overdoing it and knocking your self up ha ha

You seem to have a good setup there, OH and OC! Wish I could join you, but all our allotment is already dug - you see, beaten you there!!!

Beautiful sunrise here this morning and not a scrap of fog.

I went to feed my chickens this morning and it was so foggy I could not see OH digging away I had to walk right up to his plot to see if he was there ,he was there digging away .

I thought Codger was being very nice to me this morning, then he said he wanted a hand to put some fence-posts in.....

Cheeky git it was only yesterday he offered to give me a hand with them . Still as you get older they say your memeroy goes, it's catching up with him.

Great banter from you two - OH and OC.
Reminds me of Statler and Waldorf but not so disagreeable.

I must admit, it is nice to be back over the allotment, so we can have our little battles.

I suppose codger has now gone for his afternoon sleep.

I don't get time to sleep OH. I have just reduced the size of my chicken run so I have got some more garden to dig,be ideal for more early potatoes. It was lovely out there in the sunshine

My plot is almost a swamp.

The forecast for my part of the country is dry and cloudy for today, thats why the rain is coming down in bucketfulls

I haven't been out playing mud pies either. It was briefly better yesterday so I sheeted over the potato bed I dug before Christmas. I would have preferred it drier so I'll have to hope it will dry out by draining so I can plant first week of March. I bought my seed potatoes from Gordon Rigg last week and they look really good; Swift (I usually grow Rocket but thought I would see if these have more flavour), Charlotte and Picasso (also new to me).

Decided to do a couple of hours digging down the plot this afternoon, but it is hardwork when you have to wear chest waders

We had loads of rain again last night , it has kept OH off of digging.but he did find a job weeding his strawberries it kept him out of mischief .
