well i purchased some netting (http://www.scaffolding-direct.co.uk/garden-allotment-netting/ ) and acquired some water main pipe from a friendly local civil engineering contractor (http://www.henrybootconstruction.co.uk/). It was destined for the waste pile so 30m of HDPE 36mm pipe was cut and forced into the back of my rather small car. As a result we now have protection against birds and other rodenty things
Oooh we have managed to clear the bottom bit of the plot and plant an apple tree. Mrs Barnsley Allotmenteer and Junior Allotmenteers help wheel barrow the tree from home to the plot as the tree had grown too much to fit into the boot. An interesting 1.5 mile journey attracting a few strange looks no doubt!!
as for the planted stuff - all is well toms, squash, courgette, chard, beetroot, cucumber are all in and growing well
