I was down @ the allotment last week and planted my sprouts.
I checked on my runner beans and they seem to bee fine.
my watering can has gone missing, but it may of been kids off the housing estate.
The quicker I get a shed the better.

Sunday 1st July 2007

I had a look @ my sprouts and cauliflower plants to see how they are doing, and they are doing very well.
I will need to transfer into peat pots so I can transplant them into their finale place

I have started to dig a new bed for my cauliflower and also Brussel sprouts.

Saturday 2nd June 2007

I have not been down to the allotment for a while due to the rain and work commitments.

I managed to clear a small area and started a bed ready for my runner beans.

Because my plot has not been worked for about 2 years, the soil rich with nutrients.

As you can see the Mammoth task ahead of me.

Sunday 29th April 2007

I made a start on clearing the plot.
I used my shears and I pulled nettles and bind weed, I found a lot of black plastic and carpet underneath the long grass, nettles, bind weed and couch grass.

Introduction
My name is Iain, I am 38 years of age and I'm from Somerset.
I took on my plot today, it is very overgrown. I found out it hasn't been worked on for about 2 years.
It is a full plot, measuring 10m x 25m, costing me £13.50 per year, we are allowed sheds, greenhouses and it seems we can have animals.
I had a look at the plot, made a note of how I am going to arrange it i.e where the beds are going, shed, paths.
