Speculate To Accumulate....
I'm sure I can't be the only allotmenteer, who despite repeatedly swearing to do things on a tight budget, somehow keeps on aquiring more plot related stuff.On the way from my friends' site to my own on Sunday, I passed a house with a hand written sign outside reading "Tool Sale". Cue the screeching of tyres as I pulled up in a cloud of smoking rubber, and rushed headlong up the garden path. (In every sense of the words).
I have a fork already... Well I have two actually, because the second one was a bargain. But still I managed to buy these beauties, eulogised by the sharp witted salesman, who was in his waistcoat and slippers, and scarely a day under ninety.
A really useful long handled number, so I can turn over my clay/rock/stones without bending my back, and a fabulous old, flat tined potato fork. For all the potatoes that won't grow in my soil... At only £5.00 each, who could resist!
If I only had a shed at the plot, the back of my car might stop looking like a tool sale in transit.

The long one is a beauty; looks like a manure fork to me.
I'm with Woody, the long one looks great. The smaller one though, you were done!
You can always dig a 'grave' on the plot to store your tools in, & cover with an old door
It does look a little like a manure fork, but is more robust and digs nicely.
Actually, I prefer the smaller on if anything Rob, it's a real heavy duty, quality old thing, perfectly designed for it's purpose.
Good idea Hazel, though I'm actually eyeing a likely looking thorn thicket. (One of my very favorite words is thicket)
Thanks for your comments guys.
Erm, if he manages to dig a 'grave' for his tools he'll probably need it for himself with that clay ;>)
