Things are looking good

Been down to the plot three times this week. Planted/sowed each time as well as construction work and tidying, plus the last bit of digging. Still tons to do, though. Despite having dug in a couple of truckloads of stuff last year, part of the plot (where the topsoil was a bit thin) has solid chunks of clay lying around now that the ground is so dry.
Site was buzzing at times - so different from the quietness of last Spring when half of it was unoccupied. It's amazing how much the newcomers have achieved from scratch in the last month. Gives us all a boost.

Well done! It's amazing what can be achieved on what seems to be poor land. We have dug up loads of rock (some paving slab sized ) and in our first year (last year) we had some amazingly good crops.

Please keep posting the photos, it is great to see what you are achieving

Progress so far

Things are now starting to grow, I have potatoes, onions and cabbages. Have now got a chicken wire fence up, things are looking good.

Hey! We're full! (Assuming that the people I negotiated with at the weekend actually take up the last plot - but they did seem keen). A huge advance over the last six months and you can see the difference on the site. So many people working so hard!
