Hello, Allotment!
I’m officially an allotment owner… after 7 years waiting.
Building some raised beds
My first big allotment task - building and filling raised beds.
Composting
Setting up a dedicated composting area on the plot.
April blossom
Some lovely spring blossom around the site and on the plot.
Deciding what to grow
Working out what to grow, buying seeds, and the faff of starting things off without a greenhouse.
Failing my plot inspection
A little surprise at failing my plot inspection, and a bit of work to clear it all up.
A record of weeds
A little introduction to the weeds I found while clearing the plot.
Hello frog!
A little friend I found hiding in the undergrowth while clearing the plot.
Courgette plants taking off
My courgette plants taking hold in the beds, from flower to first harvest.
Chard, broad beans and potatoes
A look at my other bed — a range of chard, some Jazzy potatoes and broad beans getting on.
Don’t forget… squash
A nice reminder that amongst all the courgettes, I actually planted some squash too.
