Made a big start today( for us anyway). Only had the allotment about 4 weeks now, whilst digging came across some rhubarb, split and re-planted in a more convenient place. Late I know but our garlic finally went in today, along with our onion sets. Early peas and even our early potatoes went in(pentland javelin).
I have re-laid a small path so we can put our shed up tomorrow (I hope). Foundations laid out ready to receive it, just hope tomorrow B&Q have one available.
I expect we are doing it all wrong, but what the heck its got 2 chances. Hopefully this time next year our experiences will guide us better.
Good luck everyone.
