Unfortunately, I have not managed to get down to our plot yet as I've been at work and then had to play softball. However, all this will change after work tomorrow! Hooray! I will write with news of my first venture into the greenery when I get home.

Well there are many things to do on the plot, it's true. The first of which is to remove the annual weed which has taken a small foothold on the front few yards and is positively entrenched on the rear half of the plot (see pictures). So battle commenced today and I brought back up in the shape of Harko. His gardening skills were most helpful and we made some headway. Thankfully it seems the front 8 feet were used six months ago but the back half hasn't been used for what looks like a few years. I think the front we'll just turn the top spit, but the rear needs properly digging over. The drainage reflects this really, the back of the plot isn't water logged but the soil needs aerating and turning. The front is fine so it is here that we'll get started and create the first beds. The back we will develop slowly.

We've got an allotment! YAY! Time to (b)log it's journey. Watch this space for updates and piccies. Went to look round the site today and Mr Bird (Gordon) showed us a lovely space by the fence, Plot 10, which we instantly decided to take. It needs a bit of work but I think we're up to it... So it's 10' x 12' and 18p per square yard per year. And we joined the association so we can use the shop!
