More membrane, handmade plot sign and rhubarb

I really wanted to membrane the plot over to keep weeds down so I could focus on growing vegetables. So I spent some time making paths out of membrane with the idea of putting woodchip ontop to make the plot look pleasant.

One of rules of the tenancy for the plot is to display your plot number clearly. My plot is 16a which is quite nice as my daughter turned 16 this year and her first initial of her name is A. She enjoys it on the allotment and us very good with carpentry and is really artistic. She made a sign displaying the plot number out of old wood we found on the allotment. Then she painted it, I think it's great! It is so cheerful to look at.

One of our neighbours gave us two rhubarb plants. He told us that we shouldn't harvest them until next year so they have a chance to establish. I wasn't sure where I wanted to put them yet as they are permanent so I got some old tyres to put them in temporarily.
