A-Haaaarrrr me hearties...

Apparently allotment owners must sound like pirates.

We headed down on Sunday to give the place a good going over.

Here's the top end of the plot.



Why didn't I take more 'before the makeover' shots, grrr. Anyway, can you see that rosemary? It was growing all over the path so I chopped it back a bit (well, we are supposed to be sharing that path and it was taking over). Free rosemary? Excellent excuse for roast lamb for dinner mmmmmmmm. It also looks like we've inherited some kind of fruit tree too but we haven't a clue what it is (except that it probably doesn't usually grow coats).

We cleared out all the crap from the back of the plot which left us with plenty of room for this marvelous new pair of compost bins built by Bonzo's own fair hands.



AND, finished our first raised bed. Ahhh, lookie: My First Raised Bed! I added about half a barrow full of compost from our allotment shop for good measure. I'll mix it up a bit next time we're down there.



I can't wait to get planting now.

I've still not quite finished the bins, needs both a lid and a front - there's a job for next weekend.
