Weather Winners and Looser's - So Far


The milder weather continued on Friday but it remained mostly dull and cloudy all day with some light rain starting in the late afternoon.

A winner in our garden at the moment is our banana plantation. Although we've had a few frosts with the temperature getting to fractionally below 0°C our plantation remains intact in the late autumn weather.

So I think it’s fair to say our bananas are winning at the moment but it will just take one hard frost and they’ll become green mush.

On the plot our shed is the loser. The wind this week has been strong enough to rip the felt off the roof. It’s not ripped completely off but certainly needs some repair work.
Fortunately the damage was spotted by our neighbouring plotter Joe who was good enough to make a temporary repair by putting the felt back and adding some well positioned bricks on the roof to hold the felt in place.
That’s what I consider being a good neighbour - Thanks Joe

    There's great community spirit on allotment sites. We had to replace the felt on our shed roof last year, it was beyond repair.
