Welcome.

On 6th April 2007 a very small piece of lawn was dug up, and a raised bed was made. It was sown with a few rows of vegetables. Late in 2009 we gained an half an allotment (plot 54B). What happens next??

Thrashing the brambles!

Only an hour on the allotment this evening, but I wanted to attack the brambles. It's a big job, so I was quite pleased to have cut away most of the top growth.
Half way through the brambles

Here we are (above) only half way through the slashing. Below shows the change once I've done the whole "hedge".
Clearing the Brambles

Part way through, I realised that something had made a den inside the brambles, probably a fox. Then all of sudden a vixen appeared, and cool as a cat (fox) strolled round and sprayed the rhubarb! By the time a had got my phone out again to take a photo she had got bored and disappeared through to the railway. Here you can see her tail going through the fence next to the compost heap.

Cheeky Mrs Fox

Back soon.
