Since we took on the allotment we have been steadily working away and from it’s beginnings as a bramble patch and we now have some crops planted and growing. When we took it on, I couldn’t see that we would have anything planted this year so I am quite pleased with the progress. We currently have potatoes, baby corn, sweet corn, runner beans and butternut squash growing. We have cleared the front of the plot and are starting to gradually work towards the back which is still covered with nettles. The aim for this year is to get the rest of the plot clear and dug ready for a serious crop of vegetables next year.
