Goodbye Plot 69... Plot 119 continues!

A beautiful sunny Sunday and first of all we went up to Plot 69, took all the canes and put them in the car and also all the metal mesh sheets then handed in the keys.  Sad in a way to be leaving that site as it was our first allotment and we put a lot of hard work and effort into it, however having two allotments split over two sites just isnt working very well, two sets of tools, splitting our time and not giving 100% to either.  So we said our goodbyes and headed off down to Plot 119 to soak up some sun.  Definitely made the right decision, Plot 119 works so much better for us and has so much more to offer, it is always such a pleasant place to be, except when its flooded!



Had a chat with the new plot secretary and discussed the possibility of taking on another half plot next to ours, would be lovely, and give us a bit more room to grow some potatoes and fruit bushes, will have to wait and see.  The plots either side of us haven't been really cultivated at all this year, one due to illness, so it may be that one will be available for us to take on.  Apparently there are at least 18 vacant plots so far that the committee are aware of, and that is prior to rent day.  Rent day may bring a few more, guess the dreadful weather has put a few people off this year.



Did some more digging today, got the last of the right hand side dug over.  Will do it once more before planting season, soil is looking excellent though, full of worms and goodness, bit damp but not many weeds at all.
