In shock


I have been on the top of the allotment waiting list for about a week now and as luck would have it the plot that backs onto mine came available and for once in allotment history its not overgrown and it isn't full of brambles .

Here's a little history of the new plot . It was started about a year ago by a young lad . It was a very overgrown plot . He spent a lot of time on it and in no time at all it was cleared . He then planted summer and autumn raspberries a few dwarf apple trees , a couple of blackberry's and one black current bush . It has also had a loverly pond put in . And then out of the blue the other day he said was leaving to take on another site and was giving his plot up .

It was a very strange feeling taking on an allotment that was already done and im still finding myself wondering around it like a lost sheep.

I have so far only made to changes . Number one was to build a new bed that attach to mine next year creating one large bed . And this afternoon i have been down and put in 12 Asparagus plants .. Apart from that i will continue to wonder round like a lost sheep for a few more weeks yet ....
