More of a plastic lined puddle really. The idea is that the plastic will hold water for a while and keep the stones i'm going to pile in there inviting for the frogs we discovered last year. Then our little green friends can repay up by eating slugs and other nasties.

Where my glamorous assistant insisted on doing the digging. She says she offer the exercise, i think she's planning to bury someone.
One of the allotment's many old irish men came and have up advice, but his accent was so strong i didn't understand most of it.
Today's planting consists of leek and herb rocket. The former won't be done until the autumn, but the latter should be on our plates in a month or so.

Planting Potatoes (finally)
The allotment is suffering from a combination of apathy and weather. On those few afternoons at home when I could be bothered to go and dig something up it has either rained or snowed.
Today I decided to confuse the weather gods by going to the allotment in the morning. It's been nearly two weeks since my parents brought me a box of sprouting King Edwards with a rather useful planting guide on the lid.
There were enough potatoes to plant about two-thirds of a row. Then, in line with my previously decided plan, I double dug another row for the row I'd planted in. Just as I was finishing it started raining on me, the weather gods having finally woken up and noticed.
Hopefully I can get some peas dibbed in next week.
