Allotment Progress.
In June 2017, I took an allotment, after almost 3 years on the waiting list. I was delighted to get it, but as is so often the case when you take over a plot, it was very overgrown and neglected. These pictures were actually taken after doing a little work digging up the weeds and grass. The timing of when I got the allotment, combined with the amount of work that needed done, meant basically losing an entire growing season. It's frustrating, I'm trying to focus on the long term. A few digging sessions later, and progress is being made. What was frustrating is that out warm, wet summer meant the weeds were growing almost as fast as I could pull them up. Eventually, I covered over as much as possible with black plastic to stop more weeds coming up. It's not pretty, but sometimes practical has to trump pretty. Now it's almost completely clear and ready for the upcoming growing season. I will try to get better photos taken soon, hopefu
