Nearly a month in and we still have a lot to accomplish on the allotment!
John has dug over about a quarter of the entire plot, we took out the strawberry plants and now need to replant elsewhere on site. We have started some seeds off and bought a few plants but most importantly we have been helped out by some other fellow gardeners.
Having an allotment is not just about the growing of vegetables but it is also a social activity. Swapping plants, giving advice, meeting like minded people. We met our allotment neighbours the third time we visited the site. They had previously had another allotment elsewhere and were keen allotmenteers. They offered us some advice about weeding and also told us a bit about about how the site had been used by the previous owner which helped us to locate some raspberry plants and a mound of manure which will be great for turning into the soil!
