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??

Sitting with my feet up.

This is the life!

Sitting outside the allotment shed in the sunshine whilst wife and son are busy labouring.

Unfortunately it is because I sprained my ankle on Saturday and cannot walk or stand for too long.

So, what is going on here?

The last of the early potatoes have been removed and some second crops will go in.

There is a general clean-up going on, especially removing brambles.

Shouts of "look at these carrots!" are to be heard.

Yet more courgettes!

Best of all my Hollyhocks are starting to flower. It's the first time in 27 years I've managed this. I assume it's the soil here.
