Our first half plot

When we first got the plot we didn't do what we would suggest anyone should do as your very first job, which is take lots of photos, you simply can not take too many photographs, this is lessoned learned for when we moved to the full plot. So out of the few photographs taken the two below are the best examples. One of how we first started with the plot, and even then we had already done some digging, quite a crime in a "No dig" plot, but the soil was like concrete, so how on earth we could have done any other is beyond us. The second photograph is with the half all dug, and seeds, veg planted. Memories of the shed you couldn't stand up in, are still remembered by the old bruises on our heads. When ever it rained it was one in, one in the door holding the umbrella. Our lass was the one holding the umbrella.




Welcome to our new allotment blog

 This new blog, is a way of keeping a diary of our progress down t'allotment, we (we, being me and our lass, and our lass is the driving force) In lockdown April 2020 we got our first ever plot on an allotment site, A generous half as described by the bloke who showed us around. We have since moved onto a full plot of our own, and over the next few blog posts we will get you up to date, and ready for our first full growing season in 2021.
