The 1st Tree in our Orchid

One of my many birthday presents....

Sweat and Hard work

I have a helper up myAllotment now, so we decided to design a new shape (as seen in the previous update). Today we took on the task of putting are ideas into practice....

We arrived after a hearty breakfast of Strong coffee, brimming with ambition for what we could achieve that day. We mapped our area out with bamboo canes and string;

next more coffee :)

Refreshed, we grafted away....Tess working much harder than MontynotsoDon.......dig, dig, dig.............turn, turn, turn....................de-weed, de-weed, de-weed,..............then...finally...

She never stops :)

We have begun

A new year, a new allotment plan...

Finally up to date...

A rough marking out of areas I wish to grow in this year... On the right, space for my broad beans and GIANT Sunflowers....on the left, space for my small patch of Sweetcorn.

However, myAllotment would not be myAllotment without some...

.....oh yes, flooding!! 

so there was just one thing left to do...
