Nearly there

We have finally bought this dog of an allotment kicking and (barking?) into line. It's been hard work and there is still plenty to do which will easily fill every one of my weekends between now and Christmas. Well it's nice to be busy.


Harry's digging frenzy has finally finished and Coryn's nursing of the fruit bushes means we might get some fruit this year after all.


Let me give you the tour:


Tomato, Tomatillos and Sweetcorn top left plot




Rhubarb and Squash top right boxes




Cabbages and cauliflowers top right




Peas beans and mange-tout Carrots Beetroot and Parsnips Bottom Left Plot


Nothing here yet. Bottom right plot. Will probably be potatoes and leeks and a few exotics that I have my eye on.



Greenhouse




Herb patch. It looks a bit tatty at present. It's had some heavy traffic over the last few days and it's about to get tattier. More later.




fruit bushes, future plot for Bulb fennel and Water butts





Spider zoo.




Compost heaps. We'll get to the bottom of these bad boys in a few weeks.
