Wow...thanks everyone for taking the time to reply!
Some great ideas & alot i can implement easily! Have found out the names of the people who are building...sneaky but helps to know! Also I'm blessed in my village with a Village Produce Association who happen to be having a plant sale this saturday, also going to be alot of the other allotment owners there, so 'networking time'! Guess i better join as well?
i'll post you some pics ASAP...got to upload them first! Due to the bank holiday i couldnt get hold of the Parish Clerk to ask if we could make a start as the agreement is partially signed & in my kitchen...bonus is i go Zumba with her!
My allotments in a lovely village called Whimple in East Devon. It's on a hill and slopes but i've gone for the top half rather than at the bottom as its clay soil! Great for nutriants but boy it's hard work as i have the same in my postage stamp garden although in all honesty i've never got to grow much here due to it resembling more of a play park!
I'm blessed with some established goosebeery bushes, two apple trees (whimples famous as a cider producing village years ago, sadly no more) although these are young and been trained along wires with the branches horizontal ( i cannot remember what its called as only ever seen it done once before)?
Whilst i'm sat here typing this & trying to upload the pics we've been discussing allsorts like which direction it is & debating if we should very quickly change our minds & take the full size before its too late? we might be already? As this opens up alot of options but i was rather daunted by 'what was expected of me from the others already there if i'm honest....mostly because i'm next to the perfectly tended and dedicated veterans!
right hopefully....pics attached?
will keep you all posted & again..thanks for your responses!
