New Allotment what can i do!

Yes, it's definitely worth getting as far as you can so long as the mud isn't sticking to your boots.

when it gets too muddy, I wait for a good frost and attack it with the rotovator.

Thanks for the replies!, yes this first season i just want to keep it simple to see if my back can cope, the ground looks pretty good from what i can see over the fence, it just needs a good weeding, its not loaded with long grass, ill upload a picture when i can fathom it out lol

It has    and it looks to be a very nice plot 

It looks lovely. The tall fence running down the right-hand side casts a fair bit of shade, but some plants will like that.

What's growing in the far left-hand corner? Is it something you can harvest this autumn and winter? If so, that's a bonus.

On the sowing front, you might still be in time to plant some garlic and onions, possibly even to sow some broad beans if you like them. Someone else more up your way will be able to say.

Good that you can have access to the plot before April, as you'll be able to get cracking on all those lovely tasks... digging and weeding.  But you'll have a good head start when spring comes around. Good luck.

The Plot is south facing so it gets plenty of sun all day long

Bit of a nightmare at the moment as the gentleman who was given it up, now feels better and might keep it   so im just playing the waiting game to find out if whats going on (i think he is clutching at straws hoping he might get better but the guy i spoke to said he cannot manage it anymore).

Either way, aslong if he enjoys his plot im not going to force him off, i'll keep you all posted
