Allotment size shed

Monday, August 8th, 2011

Most allotments have rules on the size of shed. Those that don’t tend to end up being covered in a vast array of bizarre wooden buildings some people might call sheds… To avoid people living on their plots, keeping pigeons or storing vast amounts of tat, shed sizes are restricted to 8×6.

You can buy either metal or wooden sheds in this size. With or without windows. Obviously a metal shed is more secure but check your allotment site rules.

Apple Self Fertile Queen Cox 1 Tree

Apple Self Fertile Queen Cox 1 Tree £17.95
Cox’s are probably the most well known and well-loved English apples. This self-fertile clone makes growing easy, as it sets good crops without the need for pollinators. Fruit is juicy and sweet, with the typical mellow ‘Cox’ taste, although it has a deeper red flush than the usual Cox. Pick from late September, and eat all the way through to January.(Britain has the best climate in the world for growing apples of the highest quality. Warm, summer days and cool summer evenings ensure that they develop excellent flavour and colour.) Our apples are grafted M26 rootstock which produces easy-to-control, semi-dwarf trees with medium vigour – absolutely ideal for the garden, as you can easily reach to prune, spray and pick those luscious fruits! Full growing instructions included.
