Grapes Allotments - Before And After

[Matt94]

and heres what it looks like now (well these pics are a couple of weeks old, so the beds have more in them now):

[Sanjo]

I have the greatest admiration for all of those grapes who took on nightmare plots. I would have run a mile and I'm not afraid of hard work!

Latest at mine - coming along slowly but I've got good help

[Bigmallly]

Looking good T8Ter, your beds look really wide, is it just the pics?

[SarzWix]

Great progress T8ter Think you might have a smudge of your camera lens though - you seem to have a blurry bit in the same place on each pic

[Bren In Pots]

Looks like you've got a good helper as well

Thanks BM - yes the beds on the left are 2.4 m square (well not quite square ) but as I have access all around them it's easy enough to work them.

Thanks Sarz, yes lens duly cleaned

Thanks Bren,
Yes my grandaughter loves it over there, and I love the enthusiasm she has when we're planting or cropping (not so keen when we're barrowing manure )

Point taken about accessing around them but can you get to the middle without standing on the bed itself.

Just about, although the ones on the left, the larger ones, are earmarked for sweetcorn, in the one furthest, and the nearest one I'm just preparing ready for my elephant garlic, so will leave empty until September as the manure in there is a bit fresher than I'd like. I may put a few marrow in it, I'll have to see.
This year, for me, is all about trialling things, and if it doesn't work then up they'll come in the winter

Hello, I don't have any befores but pretty much like any other overgrown with couch,nettles and thistles before.
Afters, almost no better.....but it's my little haven and produces without looking perfect.
