water, water everywhere, except in our garden

We (as in the project team) have been trying to organise a water supply for the allotment site, before Dwr Cymru can make the connection we have to find a contractor to dig out a trench and lay pipes in the garden. Little did we know how time consuming this would be, however after making many telephone calls and getting very frustrated, we have finally found someone and guess what he's starting on Monday - Hooray! All we have to do now is make sure Dwr Cymru is booked to make the connection. This project has been an eye opener for me, so far we've built beds, constructed paths, cleared the overgrowth (well not me personally) and organised water supplies and I'm still waiting to pick a carrot, who thought gardening could be so complicated? Our next challenge is constructing the polytunnel, HELP!

I like the idea of a b(l)og as it is what some people are known to call areas of the allotments. Now that there's been lots of rain there will be lots of floristically enhanced areas of the learning garden and some weedistically enhanced areas of the allotments......Keep up the good work you garden workers and look forward to seeing some pics soon.
