The polytunnel is complete and now full of tomatoes, melons, courgettes, salad and much more.  Thanks to everyone who helped raise the polytunnel.  Come along to see it in its full glory! 

As well as that the children set to building a den under the tree platform and also made substantial progress clearing out a lovely space and starting to lay a floor. Any ideas/offers of materials to make the walls will be gratefully received.

As ever, there was also substantial progress on the various beds and many weeds are now no more, while new beds are fully planted up.

Finally, we have seen some very sizeable taddies in the wildlife pond so watch out for their legs next time you go down…

We constructed a series of tipi ready for our beans to climb up.

Yes we have found instructions for how to build your own polytunnel and are having a go.

Having hired a digger to clear a sunny spot of land we set about getting the various components and tools needed to get the job done.

Then it was time for some hard work....

And there was more activity elsewhere.....

Younger Lotti members got creating making clay signs to put around the allotment.  They also added to their ever growing tree house (or should I say fort?!) 

And we put some time into developing our wildlife pond.

A productive and rewarding day for all involved.

A digger came to site to clear a 'hill' of earth ready for the erection of a new polytunnel.
