Looks to me like you've been working really hard. Also looks like you know what you're doing. ;)

You've done masses of work there, but watch those rough grass paths, they'll be reservoirs of couch if you're not careful.

You may be new to allotments Buaras but that shovel and fork have seen a bit of action somewhere in the past. ;) Excellent job there.

the last 6 months was spent preparing the soil because it was very heavy and compact clay and needed rotten manure for conditioning. I'll start planting this month.

wish me luck :)

a nice bench up at the end, and I can see you sitting there with a flask of tea, watching your veg grow.
have a bumper crop, and enjoyment.
good luck.

You have really transormed your plot. Very impressive! What part of the country are you in?
