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??

Gaining Ground

Visitors to the plot will be aware that it is a half plot, but the tenants(s) of the other half have not tended it all year.

When we took on the plot we agreed that the old gooseberry hedge was the boundary. In fact by the time we had cleared everything our half seems a bit bigger, but then not of the plots are the same size anyway.

It's now time to remove the remains of the hedge as it will cause future problems if we don't. Our neighbour hasn't done anything, so we're removing it. The issue is, whose plot is it now on? If we remove it can we have the land. It's a bit like is the line in or out in tennis? We're taking the view that the line is in, so will plant it up. We've already created a new compost exactly on the hdge line.

Meanwhile, the hollyhocks look a bit tatty, but I love them anyway.
