You can just see from the pics taken of my little plot last July that I have been watching a patch of grassland just next to my plot [by the hedge] which did nothing all year.
Well after 6 months on the waiting list it is finally mine, only another 50 odd sq metres but enough to make a whole difference to what I can currently grow.
Due to the daft way the council allocate the plots it's the only square plot on the field. Apparently there are 25 others on the list - so why on earth do we still have 20% of our site unused?
I had to cut a big tree back into the hedge and quite a lot of rowan back - I have the scratches to prove it. The hedge area is boggy now but will be good to use in summer.
Thoughts of raspberries and cordon fruit trees as well as a proper crop of potatoes keep coming to mind. How many asparagus plants can two people sensible want do you think?
There is really nothing like the thought of a good growing summer to cheer you up in the middle of a cold winter is there?
