Signed up for another year!

Well I went and signed my missives and handed over my association fees this Saturday just gone, so we are signed up for another year.

I didn't really do anything at the plot, apart from empty the green house of some mouldy dead plants, re-attach a downpipe on the shed guttering, and tie our shade fabric canopy back up.

Oh and brought home mouldy leather gloves to wash. It has been very cold in that shed, it is all going to need a really good clean now that it is warming back up again.

But the plot didn't look as disheartening as I expected. It is a big mess, but all that work in previous years to put some structure into it means I can still see hope under all the weeds!

It is do-able - one bed at a time.

I see I only managed 1 blog post last year! Not very good.

I promise we did go to the allotment more then that, although not as much as we should have done in the second half of the year. However we did get lots and lots of soft fruit, some potatoes, various beans and peas and some salad from the plot, so it wasn't too bad. We also got lots of weeds!

This year we hope to do better. However we are also growing something else, a baby due in May, so best laid allotmenting plans may not come to fruition! And I'm going to try and photo and blog too.

I haven't been to the plot yet this year, it has only just emerged from the snow and ice really, but I am going to try and have a walk over there soon.

Happy New Year!
