My new allotment - pics.

Well - I got my half plot two weeks ago now. Went to have a look at it - it was as bad as I imagined:



The kids seemed ot enjoy it anyway (although my 2 year old get on getting caught by the grass which distressed him rather a lot - but was pretty funny!!). Digging it has been really hard work, nearly there apart from weeding and raking. Of course, child labour helped:



The plan is that we are sharing it this year with our neighbours (and the kids best friends) - taking half each. This means I will have 4 beds, each 2m x 4m, a space for each of the kids, some fruit bushes at the top and then we'll have a shed/greenhouse that Jim (my neighbour) and I are building out of patio doors, shed bits and glass, a composter and places for lounging about. We're hopiing to create a veranda on the greenhouse/shed, and then with a gas ppowered fridge and some beers we'll be sorted!

So, there we are. A bit of a step up from the garden!

Hope it turns out big enough for you, the more you grow the more you want!
I hope the kids stay happy too, its a nice idea for them to have their own space,Im hoping my son will be a bit more interested this year now we've got a decent shed and can start from spring

It's looking good.
I'm pretty new to this veg growing myself, so I may be wrong, but I think, as it's getting close to planting time now, it's a bit late for manure, unless it's well rotted and pyralid free.

Great work, it looks very different now.
