Allotment site

Finally got a chance to get something done on my new allotment today! I've been itching to get started but with a bad back, bad weather, winter flu and Christmas preperations there's been no chance! Now school is out (yay!) and I'm just about organised for the 25th I made a trip there today.

This is it! It doesnt go all the way back, as it's just a half plot, but it's still bigger than my garden! It has been looked after in the past, so it's not toooo bad - there are a couple of beds in there already so I dug those over and as it's the shortest day of the year, planted some garlic (it's the tradition apparently!) We also lifted some onions that got left behind, I removed some of the bigger weeds on the plot and started a compost heap. Andrew and Dan came with me, they havn't been up before. Andrew loves it, and he's been busy reading up about what he can grow next year.
Next job is to bring down the blackcurrant canes I have squeezed in a pot at home and set them free on the allotment, and at some point I need to find a shed!
