Just starting out...

[Hartland]

Myself and a small group of friends took over an allotment three weeks ago. It was pretty overgrown, but we're doing well so far... 12 out of 17 beds cleared of weeds and general rubbish, and planted; the shed and gate repaired and much useful stuff scrounged. This last week we've seen a Peacock butterfly hatch out in the strawberry bed and noticed that the gooseberries are just starting to form tiny fruits: suddenly all that backbreaking work seemed worthwhile!

Hello & Welcome


Pictures we love pictures, also if you take lots as you go along you will be able to look back at your achievements over the coming years

Thanks for the friendly welcome! Browsing through the various threads: this looks just like the sort of site I need!

This was the plot on the day we took it over:

No more photos yet, but it looks a whole lot better now

Thanks for the kind words


Just a word of warning though ............... Beware of Nutters ... we have a few & they are easily recognised

[skeggijon]

Only a few?

Hi there, and a big welcome to the Vine from me too!!

Looking forward to seeing what you've all been up to...you have been busy from the sounds of things!
Rewarding isn't it?

Even more rewarding is the gallon of dandelion wine that's now happily burping away on my kitchen windowsill, earmarked for the allotment group's christmas party!
