Day One...

Standing at the bottom of the plot - lots to do!
Today we officially became tenants of our allotment, complete with rent book! Went paid, in advance, deposit for the gate key given and association membership paid, it is time to explore what we have guardianship over, for the foreseeable future.

Our plot extends from the back of my neighbour's greenhouse and water butts, to the rear fence of the garden behind our 'shed' and greenhouse. There is not much in the ground other than some chives and some abandoned celery plants. From the posts onwards there is a selection of neglected soft fruit. The rest of the plot needs digging over and weeding. 

This plum will need a bit of a chop in a month or so...
I can see the good old secateurs will be in high demand. the soft fruit has not been touched in a while and as for that plum tree, well it is going to be in for a shock come April. There is a lot of tyding up to do over the next few weeks.

Ralph.
