Area 51 - aka The Jungle


So this is it - our new allotment. As with all allotments that have fallen into disuse, it is slightly overgrown.
 
Ok it's quite a bit overgrown.
 
The photo shows the full length of the plot. It goes back as far as a small blue water butt and that unstable looking metal frame.
 
There are some possible good bits though........
Like these fruit canes and currant bush
 
 
Shame we don't like raspberries.......
 
Plus there is some established rhubarb
 
 
Hmmmm.........
 
And some onions
 
 
But mostly it is like this
 
 
So its going to take a bit of work even before we can plant anything. The allotment association will treat and rotavate it before we officially make a start next week which will help.
 
So this blog will be a record of our progress.
 
Wish us luck.........I think we are going to need it!
