‘at my garden chores
for MP3 I’ve no need
birdsongs-humming bees’
The allotment chores list is growing longer by the day and with the dark evenings, all jobs have to be stuffed into the weekend!
Jobs list 1 (of many):
- Chop and weed the cut flower bed. STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED!
- Prune the old gooseberry bush, replant (in a more suitable position) and dig over the ‘old gooseberry’ site. STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED!
- Transplant the honeyberries.
- Lay the weed suppressant on the pathways. STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED!
- Dig wooden raised bed. DONE!!!
- Fill metal raised beds with topsoil, manure and compost.Β STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED!

- Pull up beans and poles then dig a bean trench.Β STARTED BUT NOT FINISHED!
I am currently a ‘chores butterfly’…flitting from job to job! Β Fortunately, I still have a treat or two growing on the plots to keep me going π

It wouldn’t be an allotment if it didn’t have a job list! I love your metal raised beds π

Haha, true π Thank you. They are pretty good aren’t they? At my site, allotmenteers either go for raised beds or ground planting however I couldn’t decide so I’ve gone for both!! π

Hello fellow “chores butterfly” π I hope you don’t mind me asking but where did you get those metal raised beds?

No of course not…I bought mine from Sutton Seeds but they are also sold by Amazon, ebay etc. They are fantastic quality however they’re not cheap!

Yes, they look very good quality. I haven’t seen them before, they look great. I do like to make things myself if I can and keep within a tight budget, but sometimes it’s worth spending more and treating yourself π Thanks for the info, happy gardening!
