As the title says, WE HAVE AN ALLOTMENT!! and we started work on it last week and believe me it needs a lot of work, but mainly just clearing. So along with my mum, dad and Chloe we set to work.
Here are a few before photos…
This plot used to be worked as a double plot with one next door but unfortunately someone has already taken over the other half. As you can see from the pictures, there are a few fruit trees and I think the people before used to have all the fruit on the side we have and veg in beds on the other side, so there isn’t loads of space for beds because of the trees, we just need to be a bit inventive on where to and what to grow. There are also quite a few raspberry canes and we think some gooseberry bushes.
Throughout the week we have cleared quite a bit, cut back the raspberries, dug out roots, clipped back thorns and dug out some beds ready for planting, oh and started off some seeds indoors.
My mum has already caught the bug and is talking about having more plots and Chloe is desperate for chickens, so watch this space!!!
