The last few days have been fairly busy on the plots, with a variety of jobs.
Weeding as always is an ongoing task, as is watering.
I collected a load of glass the other day from Free-cycle, some of this I've started cutting to size for making cloches, these will be put to use in the autumn to extend the growing season and then again in the spring to protect plants from the cold and give an earlier start to the crops.

Another job was to put in place a dipping tank by the taps. This required some lateral thinking as the tank had a significant leak. Anyway.... a bit of wheelbarrow inner tube, a short length of Hazel, some scrap aluminium and a couple of nuts and bolts soon had the problem solved.

For some while the taps had been causing problems, with constant use they were working loose from the supply pipe, and leaking quite badly. After tightening the joint several times it became obvious to me that a more permanent and fool proof solution was required. Again some screws a couple of nuts and bolts, and some scrap metal provided the answer.
The resulting straps prevent sideways movement and hence the taps working loose

Heres one of our latest additions to the plot, a bird bath.

Last but not least heres a shot of the plot taken from the top of my compost bins, you can see that a little more of the summer house has been painted.
