Disheartened - help and advice required please

Kev - i got my plot the same week in september that I found out i was pg.  we didnt get very far at all the first season and i am still struggling to find the time in year 3 but it gets better.  The first season (bearing in mind come spring i was a whale) I managed to convince DH to help dig enough space for 3 rows of potatoes and 2 onion. we also enjoyed 2 massive pumpkins in october.  the tomatoes and peas i grew at home in the garden.

dig and cover dig and cover and dont worry so much about crop this season.  it will pay off next year.

and don't listen to the 'helpful' chat on the allotment.  a 60 year old retired man has all the time on their hands and i work full time, my dh works shifts and we have a kid - so i do what i can when i can.  the 5 pounds of raspberries i harvested last ssummer didnt taste any better or worse for the fact that my plot is a bit messy and i lost a row of onions to weeds.

twins are awesome and you will never get this time back so enjoy it. Google Graco Pack and Play sport playpen - it saved my sanity as I was able to take stinky to the allotment on nice days. you just need fairly soft ground and some padding in the pen.  i put it on the path which is soft grass and stacked it with a couple of soft blankets and it would give me 2-3 hours at the lottie. we also used it at home in the garden a lot.  babies sleep a lot and need fresh air, perfect combination :-)
