Have decided that next year my allotment will look more than an allotment, than a messy garden. Some things have to go. Planted a Xmas tree from a pot, and now it is looking sad and too big, so will probably go on the bonfire. Poor tree (maybe give it another year, no big to bring home for Xmas). My strawberry bed is full of marestail and weeds, so that will be dug over as the few strawberry plants I moved seem to like their new bed. The old blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes are having a big chop, and the fig tree a big chop, loads of figs, but too small and none ripe. The raspberries are taking over (I am fed up with raspberry jam and freezer full of raspberries, but at least next door have taken some). Never thought I could have too many raspberries. Think it is time for a big bonfire, and get OH up with the cultivator. Memo to myself, do not plant overspill from the garden, but I can't bear to bin anything. Must never plant that pampas grass again, and the small fir tree from a hanging basket that grew over 6 feet tall. I have all the plans in my head, now I get need a bit of 'get up and dig'.
