Our New Allotment

Post: # 166370Post Julieann »

:flower: My first post!

My OH and I took our allotment on at the end of June. It hadn't been cultivated for a number of years. The council helpfully rotavated it - chopping up all the bindweed and other perennial roots into little pieces. We have be SIEVING the soil.
Progress has been made, and we are picking lettuce.

Now to see if I can work out how to add a photo.
