Here's a slideshow - pictures taken on 10 and 16 May click on image below. I've had the plot nearly two and half years now. It was overgrown with weeds and brambles when I took it on and the soil hadn't been worked for several years - very shallow topsoil, loads of heavy clay, lots of bindweed. The derelict greenhouse at the back of the plot (pictured) was covered in brambles and completely invisible, so I was delighted to find a grapevine growing through it. There's still loads to do and I've made lots of mistakes (like growing asparagus too close to raspberries!), but the plot's now producing a lot of good stuff. I'm particularly pleased with the things I've overwintered - onions, Aquadulce Broad Beans, Garlic and Butterhead lettuces.
