Hello from sunny Kent!

I have had my allotment for precisely one week and have been spending a lot of time there weeding (there is a lot to do). I am 30 and go to the allotment with my 6 month old. He's not much help, but is good company.

This is my first allotment. I'm a keen, albeit VERY amateur, grower and my terrace is filled with strawberries and flowers. I have taken on my 20 ft x 60 ft plot in the hope of growing vegetables. I am hoping to slowly get things planted while I continue to clear. The clearing is going slowly, though, as I am comprehensively removing bindweed roots as I go.

Watch this space!
