Ow!!

I spent an hour and a half on my allotment yesterday, chopping down all manner of who even knows what and scratching my right hand and arm up in the process, as well as grabbing a stinging nettle by mistake. So now my hand's all itchy, and sore whenever I put it in hot water.

I don't know what the guy who had the plot before me was doing, but it was a mess even under the overgrown plants. So far, I've found four tyres, a plastic office chair, half a dozen poles randomly stuck in the ground, more rusty metal sheets than I want to think about, what looks like a bird cage, masses of tangled netting, an over rack, what I think is a plastic tray from a dishwasher... Also 4 2.5kg weights. I think I'm about two thirds through, so who even knows what else I'll find in there.

On the bright side, it's now November, which means I can have a bonfire to deal with all the plant debris that I don't need. And then I can actually, you know, plant stuff. Any ideas what that stuff should be?
