Looks like we've done less but we have done more honest.

If you look (really) closely, the scrappy area on the left where the blowaway used to be (which is now the brassica cage), in front of the table has the footings for our polytunnel.

Lovely big plot, so much space.

Lovely big plot, so much space.

Thanks Dotty, we are really lucky. None of the plots on our site are as big as traditional full sized plots but they aren't ever so far short.
We were originally a half plot, like the plot to our right and the plot opposite.
The area ours are on were just meadow when we took them on as the drainage was so poor and the land often boggy. The Parish Council put land drains in and improved this creating the space for the last three plots. I was lucky enough to have the choice of the three and after our first year applied to the PC to extend to a full plot which they let me do. With the other plot holders we are in the process of establishing a wild flower meadow to the left of ours, and discussing introducing a nature pond too.

Bal, you need to pick a spot of your garden or plot and photograph it once a month to see it change.
