Allotment


I thought it might be good to give a short update on the allotment, as the official website has not been updated in almost a year. At the moment, we're at around the same position as the last update, except that we have acquired two new allotments since then and we are busy creating an orchard, complete with rasberries, blackberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, blueberries, goosberries, four apple trees, a plum tree, a damson tree and a cherry tree. Work is slow, due mainly to lack of time, but hopefully we'll have a larger harvest this year than last one. We don't have a digital camera, but here's a recent picture of the allotment:

Since then the fence on the right has come down and all of the weeds removed, but apart from preparing a patch for the patio we haven't made that much progress with planting anything.
