Did 'em both. It happened to be sunny for both. Don't know how I'll cope next week with more rain forecast.
Everything hurts (in a good way) coz I did 6 hrs digging in my new allotment this week. I just need more dry weather to get the plot sorted out and ready for spring. Unfortunately jarred by dodgy ankle, but on the basis of what doesn't kill you makes you stronger....
All this and speed podcasts too! 👍I am impressed - hope your ankle feels better soon.🙂
That soil looks better than our allotment ever did.
The long time allotment holders seemed to have increased the size of their plots over the years and newcomers got the worst plots.
I spent last night reading about allotments. I'm going to test the soul pH then add either manure or lime and maybe put cardboard for mulch on top to stop weeds on the newly dug areas. Then I'm going to curl up in front of the fire for the winter and plan what to play 😊
That seems to be a good plan.
It's not too late to sow a green manure. I will tell you more later - my breakfast has just arrived.

Sorry, I forgot this yesterday. this seems to be a good summary.
6 hours digging is seriously hard work! As a passionate gardener I can say that your soil looks gorgeous 😘
I thought that, but I know nothing. I'm a beginner. Lots to learn!
Well done on the allotment, think I may have to move to new home to ditch our massive garden and make way for running 😉 you take care of the back with all that digging, cant risk more injury
Or rent out part of your garden to local youngsters you like. They could benefit from your knowledge and you'd still have the view.
Yep I'd miss all the produce which fills my freezer for the winter months if I didn't have a garden. Variety of hobbies is best.
When we started to find our veg patch too much to manage (everybody working or away at college), a call out to the neighbourhood word-of-mouth info network produced a fantastic newly-retired chap who managed the plot for us in return for half the produce. He became a beloved friend & everyone gained. It’s worth asking around.... 😊
The real reason for moving is to get closer to babytobe and all the rest of the family so makes sense to look for slightly more manageable garden with new house. We have ⅓ acre at the moment! Glad you've found a new friend gardener. Happy running
Ah, now THAT is an excellent reason for moving!
Perfect! That's the sort of thing I love.
Practical core strength exercises! 😁😁😁
I used to think 10 squats was quite a lot (when I started 3 was difficult so 10 was a great improvement) 'til a colleague said he does 200 at a time. So I did digging + 20 squats yesterday
What lovely looking soil. I love a bit of lovely clean soil. Maybe something to do with the endless possibilities of just what you might or can do with it.
Glad to note it has not distracted you from your running . 🌻🌻🌻
It might go until it's all laid out properly. I'm hoping to get it rough dug and the layout done by end of Nov
What a terrific work out!! Runs too..wow! ...I have a small patch needs digging over if you are in the mood?🤣
Turns out I'm good at digging!
👏🏼
Well done baddie, 2 fast runs and a long dig. I haven’t had much energy since my speed challenge run on Monday. Are you going to put winter crops in?
I wasn't going to, it's very waterlogged, I think they rot. The aim is to get it ready for spring.
Any frost will do the soil good too. Gardening is good for the soul as well as the tum. 😊
Well done to you! And that soil looks great! 6 hours! Seriously impressive! What are you planning to grow?
In 2 goes, not all at once.
I am pretty sure that when my running was at its strongest my stamina was up soI could garden longer without thinking of a rest, but I still don't think that I would manage 3 hours digging without a break. Well done again to you!
Was also going to drool over soil quality. Maybe we should start a gardening sub group 😁
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, let's. I'm a New by and need all the advice I can get!
Well done Baddie - some seriously hard labour there!👍
My soil is flints on a bed of clay. When I want to plant something, Mr grumpy gets the pickaxe out 😁
