The Beginning....

So I took over the plot in late September 2009 when the ground was hard, compacted and the allotment was covered in weeds. You couldn't get a fork in the ground back then so it was a case of just clearing. I also acquired a shed for free which has been nicely painted and patched up my my wife Michelle and 8 year old son Adam. I started to dig as soon as the ground got a bit softer, the only thing is it has barely stopped raining or snowing since then. To one end of the plot we have fruit bushes, gooseberry, raspberry, black current along with strawberry's everywhere! They will all need sorting out once I've dealt with the couch grass and other weeds. I haven't actually planted anything yet but as you can see from these photos some progress has been made.
