We have taken this opportunity (it’s fairly empty) to restrengthen and recover. Well, when I say recover I mean to make use of all the odds and sods bits of plastic and glass we have. Including an old patio door, old shower doors and abandoned greenhouse parts.

It’s not essential to have a shed at the allotment, but it certainly helps to have a place to keep your tools (we don’t leave anything valuable in ours). A shed can also become a place to retreat from the showers or just tot sit, have a cuppa and make plans!

Coping with an Allotment & an Injury!
Itโs been four months since I finished my tea and grabbed a slice of cheesecake to eat in front of the tv (yes very healthy, I know). As I bent down to sit, my left knee gave way under me as my kneecap dislocated.
Easter Ground Preparations
We are not particularly big fans of either method of dig or no dig and are pretty open minded to both still, continuing to experiment as we go along, this gives us somewhat of a patchwork plot, some covered with a layer of organic matter for the winter, some parts covered with plastic and membrane and others simply winter dug over. I quite like the variety.
Let’s get this party started!
So spring is finally here and after so much snow, it couldnโt be more welcome.
I Don’t Have Time for an Allotment
It’s that age old thing that you have time for whatever you make time for, it’s all about priorities, what’s important to one family is less important to another. I suppose the same goes for other pursuits such as exercise or going to the gym. There’s not an infinite amount of free time available so you choose where to spend what you do have.
