The Saga of Hampshire Hogs Allotment.

Due to a total melt down yesterday of my PC lost nearly everything luckily I had saved all my photos and important docs on a remote hard drive 
Anyway I thought I would start again with this new thread for the allotment saga.
As you may remember readers the last time we visited Hog was busy constructing his compost bins and clearing the old compost heap, he has now completed these tasks.
Today's visit was with a little trepidation had his new poly tunnel survived its first storm of the season
YES readers it had
and the garden looked good everything still standing even that wonky old shed.

I have been this morning and cut all the pumpkins away from there stalks turned them over to dry and harden in the sun I would normally of left them a little longer but they have stopped growing in the last week so will have to do.
I will rotovate in the next few weeks and sow field beans as a green manure over winter.
Just a few pictures as it looks this morning.

Been busy with the hard landscaping in the last few week's created a small patio area with rose beds around hoping to create a scented garden area so that my wife can have somewhere to park her wheelchair during the summer months so we can enjoy the garden together.
Also have put up a trellis on the SSW side of the poly tunnel as this is the prevailing wind side not decided yet what to grow on it grape or passion fruit with runner beans during the summer.

Planted four Rhubarb's livingstone, polish raspberry, stockbridge arrow, and victoria. in theory this should give us a supply from March to October / November.
Also rotavated the rest of the plot and raked it over still finding pieces of concrete drinks cans bottles and all manner of rubbish buried all over

I have not taken any stalks off the plants as reading all the expert advice they say not to in the first year although it's very tempting I have to say.
