Nice do at the plot; tidied up a bit the greenhouse and moved a bit a section of drain pipe, inside it, because it leaks; so instead of repairing the leak, placed the pipe under it at a slight angle so as to direct the leak to a water butt. works perfectly - when it rains.

Also donated a grape to a new pair of plotters, their plot floods as well as mine, they know but have not seen it yet. And a pair of cauliflowers in exchange for a courgette, planted today.

While at it and after watching a utube video, about the Maya technique of growing stuff, got two bags of charcoal and did four pots - two large two small - using said material + ground, two large for tomatoes two smaller for chillies. Let's see it how it goes.

Also, using a section of clay pipe, re-potted the lemon tree using the same material, looks better might work better. No idea what sort of pipe it is, never seen one before.

Had a chat with various plotters, then sat under the blackthorn tree and had a break.
