Tomato Hilton

The allotment is in a very exposed location with no shelter at all from the Isle of Man's prevailing south westerly winds that blow up though the Irish Sea.

So....as the weather has turned much cooler and windier this week (I had the heating on at home yesterday!)... I've started work on a cover for the raised bed with the tomatoes, cucumber and melon plants (the last two haven't really done anything since being planted out) 3 sides are now up and as the weather isnt particularly good at the moment, I've wrapped some debris netting around to keep the worst of the wind out.

Also, picked up some clear pallet wrap to try and sheet the sides once I've got the last few pieces of wooden frame in place.
