Hi again ,just a quick update. When I said we had asked about the back half of the plot next to us and was told we could have it.

We was  asked the weekend if we would mind taking it all on  ;D. Without hesitation we did so we now have a new plot.

It needs a bit of digging but nothing like the jungle our other one was. Heres a couple of pics.






GF Dug the one part yesterday as the other plot is raring to go (fingers crossed).
Going to spend most the day down there tomorrow as it's supposed to be another hot one.

This allotment thingy has now turned me into a begging , scrounging , skip scanning addict  ;D

Hi again , have been going down the allotment when we can and went down tonight with Ellis. Had a few seedling disasters (leggy) but were slowly getting there.

The other plot we took on we have been digging/weeding it as we have needed the space (got potatoes , corgettes , squash and some braccias in)

Had a bit of disaster with runner beans and our kinghorn wax beans, but we put that down to the weather.

Picked a cabbage tonight and Ellis drove me mad to take a picture of him with it. I took a couple more while i was there as well.



Some beetroot i stuck in one of the them lidl colapsable boxes.



Photo ours (ignore the weeds  ;D)



And the top bit of our other plot.





Already leaned some big lessons so far ....

1) Next year I will remember i'm not gonna eat 50 lettuce in 1 week.

2) I will 100% be covering any area up we have dug until it is needed.

3) I will keep more notes on what I am doing etc.

4) I will NOT start my runner beans off in march.

that's about it for now.
