One year One Allotment One Woman

18/4/11

After a five year wait, in-fact I had forgotten that my name was on what I assumed was a long list, a phone call with the offer of an allotment within walking distance of my house.

Well, even the fact that the patch was in a shameful condition did not deter me from accepting the challenge.

So armed with a pick axe, fork and spade. I launched myself into clearing the ground. keeping a steady pace working for an hour and a half every day, by the end of the week a small piece was ready to plant three short rows of early potatoes and get a pit 3 ft x 3ft square with muck and sieved earth incased in a wooden frame ready for planting Courgetts.

A good weeks work!!
