Rain, High water and Green house roof fixed.

 

The fix seems to be doing it's job, keeping the rainwater out, but still going in the guttering to keep the barrels full.

We have seen the nearby river higher than this before, but it's not to far from completely bursting it's banks as you can see.

We are at the top of the hill, so we are okay, but some of the allotments at the bottom it might be more interesting. This is a farmers field behind our allotment which slopes down to the river.

Just a flying visit today in the rain.

 Today was a flying visit to the allotment, the rain continues to come down, so we had hoped just to check things out, deposit some more towards the compost heap, and our lass was going to leave some cuttings that have been growing.

The rain had worked its way into the shed, so a running repair was done with some spare felt.

Tomato seedlings are hanging in there, and have been joined by our lasses own Philadelphus (mock orange) cuttings.

Wet on the inside meant....

A repair needed on the outside, will report back next time.

Still hanging in there, lets see what any frost will do to them, it is just an experiment to see if they last a winter.

Our lasses cuttings join the seedlings.

Day 5, Rainy day and tinfoil

Always jobs to do, and with the shed being not only being big enough for us two but for a camping stove as well, our lass wanted to make a wooden structure fire proof as well as wind proof. So came up with the idea of foam and tin foil, which I think looks great and has done a fantastic job, we also as you can see, tidied up the first compost bin a little as well.

Day 3 at the allotment,

Day 3 sees our lass complete the digging for my potato patch and we starting to fill in some of the holes in the shed, It is a far superior shed to the one we had before, but it needed sorting. Also day 3 was rainy, If I remember correctly, I was moving stuff from our old half plot up the hill to the new allotment.

 And then the rains really came down
