Been lurking around the site for a while now, time I think to introduce myself. We live the small village of Greystoke on the edge of The Lake District, I have been a keen general gardener, but never grown anything for the pot, however with more time on my hands now have decided to give it a go.
I was lucky enough to hear that Greystoke Castle Estates were making some long redundant allotment plots available, I just missed out but someone dropped out and I acquired my plot at the end of June,the allotments have not been used for growing for many years, but up until last year were the home to some chickens.
The plot is 30ft x 60ft and we have about half of it prepared now, some compost bays and a water but in. we managed to grow some bits last year but where just a bit late to get things going. We have the planting plans sorted for this year.
What we started with
Where we are at now
I'm sure we will be back with lots of questions,
Cheers for now
regards Ian D
