As of this week, we have a new allotment – and a new adventure!

There’s plenty of work ahead. The perimeter fencing is in a bad state and the plot is a bit overgrown in places. It’s full of potential though, with plenty of space and good-quality soil. And we’ll be inheriting some well-established shrubs & fruit bushes.

We’re full of ideas – what we want to grow and how we’d like it to look (we love that allotment chic!!). It’s already got a nice feel to it – quite enclosed with an almost secret garden quality. We hope to develop this a bit further – natural, pretty, and yet productive – that sums it up really.

In this series of posts, we’ll share the journey – the new projects, successes, failures, the produce grown and what we do with it. Along with a spade, we’ll always be sure to pack our camera! Feel free to share your own comments, ideas & tips as we travel along the allotment road.
