We're a young family who have decided to blog our progress from getting an allotment to...well...wherever we end up!

Monday 18 May 2009

The plants are in!

So, we've had a MAD MAD few weeks trying to get everything ready. It seems we got the allotment slightly late as it was time to plant a lot of stuff but we first needed to do all the clearing, by which time things would be late to go in!

Solution - work like dogs!!

What have we acheived so far?

Allotment cleared, all rubbish been skipped!
New Beds created
A section 10m x 5m rotovated
Greenhouse frame erected (waiting for glass and then base needed!)
Fencing re-located and new fence made
Pallets collected ready to make compost or manure bin
Bee hive to be delivered in the next few days!
