Title: My new allotment
Post by: grahamatlocking on July 29, 2008, 16:36:16
Hi all,

So.... I went to see my new allotment for the first time today, Got my own gate key,

I entered the plot and found rhubarb, :)  raspberry and blackberry bushes, :)  rose bush, watering cans, 2 water butts and 3 compost heaps. Its was so much fun, the thought of what I can turn it into and I have everything already there,
I can't wait to get down there tomorrow and start getting rid of all the bindweed that has worked its way around the plot.

I will post some before and after pics on here once I have got started.

Welcome.  Nice start to the joy of things to come.  Water butts are always difficult to come by.

How great, I can feel the excitement from here!!! It is fab when you first take on a plot, then the realisation kicks in (  ::) )   but you soon find the enjoyment and excitement again when you harvest all that home grown produce!!!! Good luck and you must show us pics!
