Well, we're not doing too badly, slowly but surely. We've marked out a couple of plots and dug over the first one for the most part, I've even weeded it a bit. Trev's really getting into it which is cool and I've managed to find a few pallets from various skips nearby that I'm gonna use to make my compost bins. Planting some potatoes that a nice man gave us tomorrow and hopefully puttting some kind of path in and some weedkiller on the 2nd plot with cardboard and manure on top. Thats the plan - lets all hope it doesn't rain!!

First day on my allotment today, yay!! Spent the day pottering about with the kids, my younger brothers and one of their girlfriends came along to help. A really nice man named paul came along and helped us mark out the plot and a bed to start us off. We've cleared loads of junk including an old bath and various other bits and bots into a pile at the bottom, and any old wood debris we've put on another pile for a future bonfire.
We also started to dig over the new bed, but it was quite hard going with a lot of grass on it. Didn't do too badly though considering!!
Trev and I also visited the woodyard next door and nabbed a few old fence poles to help plot out the rest of the plot.
Tomorrows jobs - Plot out rest of the plot, Dig over Plot 1 and weed it.
Will post a photo of all this hard work soon. Jo xx
