It's good to be back

Hi - Finally got an allotment after being without for 3 years or so due to house move to different county. Strangely enough I put my name down one day, was number 32 on the list, yet was allocated one 2 days later  This was possibly as the council had coincidentally just opened up new plots in the adjacent field 
Now the negative bit - in preparing the field they just ploughed very thick couch grass straight into the ground (thanks Newark District Council.....) - that means not only do I have to get it all out but I have to go searching for it about a foot down.  It really is a thick mat so no chance of anything rooting through it, but hey ho it has to be done.
Tackling it about 3-4 feet widths at a time and planting up as I go along so at least something is being produced this season - so far carrots, onions, cabbade, cauli, brussels, potatoes and beetroot planted/sown with beans and leeks in waiting for the next patch.  I won't mention how my back is coping!!!!!  But it's great to be back 

Congratulations and hope you've remembered the site rules:
a) take piccies as you go
b) let us see them!

Thanks all - got some piccies on my camera as I want to keep a dateline diary - once I download them to my laptop I will post them.
