what not to do on valentines day !!

I do admire you Joanella, going out in this cold weather, you must be tough - and determined. I hope you felt pleased with yourselves after all that. I can imagine that in Spring and Summer it will be hard to tear yourselves away from your plot.

thank you mad,yes cant wait to get cracking on it now,i think once you have made a start it gives you more of a lift,:o))

oh lovely. All your hard work will be rewarded I'm sure. Hope those roses feel at home straight away and brighten that part of your garden. : )) Well done.
I think this was a great thing to do on Valentine's day!

hi weeding and thank you we both enjoyed the day..

Well done on getting all that work done on such a cold day, even though it was Valentine`s day. I bought that white climbing rose and thought it a great bargain. Now all I have to do is plant it but in my soaking wet heavy clay it won`t be at all easy.

You had worked of but look at what a differance you've made of it.

thanks labd,lots of bargains to be had if you look round isnt there i bought one white and one pink in memory of oh dad and mum so really hope they take,hope yours does well for you...:o)

thanks clarice,blood sweat and tears well no tears but i had a few thorns in my fingers lol

i think it great and you were together so doesnt matter what you do on valentines,, its about sharing joan, your both doing a great job with allotment to :o))

cheers san ,we did go for a meal later ,he wasnt getting away with it altogether ..:o)))
by the way did you get any more of your garden done today ?..

It does look much better after all your hard work. It's interesting to see how you're working on it and the plans you have. Good luck. !

thank you hywel,plans just keep changing though never mind we will get there in the end..:o)

It's the enjoyment of doing it, never mind if the plans change. It will be worth all your efforts.

glad you went for meal, we did to joan, it was lovely, didnt get anything done today as i was working and weather was wet and dreary, rain and more rain :o( so im hoping joe will do a little tomoz before going to mates, its a slow process im afraid

you are right hywel.oh wise one of goy :o))
weather here the same san,theres no rush is there as i said to hywel we get there in the end :o)

me wise ? lol

:o)))

a lovely day really and as you were working together that is a romantic way to be. well done on the progress you are making.

i agree SBG....me and my husband romanticaly spent the day rebuilding a tyre wall...doing things together IS romance...
your plot looks great...whats with the plastic bin burrying?? ;-)

What an acheivement - well done the both of you :~))

Goodness - you did get a lot done! Never mind the date - it's a case of taking the chance to get out there whenever you can, isn't it. Yesterday was an absolute wash-out, but today I might get some gardening done!

A meal out? Well - you deserved it! :-))))

i agree sbg and thank you..
hi sandra,lol you building a wall,there were 4 big bins dug right into the ground filled with bricks and earth!! no idea why but hard to dig them back up lol..
cheers pipsqueak:o)
hi spritz ,and thanks hope you have good weather today :o))

Thanks, Joan - been out with Henry and there's been a heavy snowfall on the hills - I'm so glad it didn't arrive here. :-))) It's SUNNY out there, even if it's still chilly! YAYY!!!

You certainly got loads of work done it is looking good.

Its all coming along well, must have been darned hard work unearthing those bins tho, your pond looks neat and tidy, in a few weeks when things start to grow and we get the warmer weather thats going to be a nice area to enjoy your cuppa...........

It seems that Mad dogs and englishmen not only go out in the midday sun, but in the most appalling of weathers, having said that all power to your elbow, I think this has got to be a wonderful way of sharing your time on Valentines day, after all you will be able to stroll round and look at what all your hard work and time spent has achieved, and hopefully we on goy will go on enjoying not only this great blog but more pics as things progress. Good luck.

ooh spritz,sunshine ..pass it up here for a while,miserable grey day here :o)
hi mavis,thanks still lots to do but we will take our time i think..:o)
hi lincs, yes it was i can laugh about it now though at the thought of someone digging a big hole to put a bin in,as you say in a few weeks every where will start to look better :o)

thank you for your kind words stroller,i think we all like to step back and enjoy whatever work we have done, more so with the garden as some of the pics on goy show with the lovely gardens people have :o)

do the bins have holes in the bottom Joanella? if so maybe they were for extra drainage...

no sandra just bricks,i would like to ask the person who put them in ..why lol.:o)

Well done joanella you've worked really hard on your plot,my wife and I were also at the allotment on valentines day,it was a good day for us as well.

cheers allotment,it was a good day but so cccold hope it was a bit warmer for you both..:o)
