Down on the farm

Here's our allotment at various stages of development.

Week 1 - waist high grass and weeds. Week 4 - Saturday - hoeing the weeds off the first bed we made (planted with spuds). The second bed also has spuds but is cultivated in a different way.


The third bed has just been planted with young French Bean plants. By the end of Sunday we had created another bed (which will be runner beans), a turf pile which will become a hot pile for ridge cucumbers and cleared the brambles off the old compost heap at the back (which has rewarded us with 10 barrow loads of beautiful crumbly loam - with plenty still to use).
