Plot 364A

Plot 364A

So on Friday we finally got to choose our plot and get our keys! It was a bit like an interview and there were a few bits of paperwork to fill out as well as a whole list of rules but I didn't care. We were shown a couple of plots but decided as first timers we would go for a third plot (not a full). I fell in love with plot 364A immediately. We have nice neighbours apparently (haven't met them yet) the water source is right by us and there is a shed held together with cobwebs and wasp nests. A small raised bed for herbs and well, it is a little shabby, but also just perfect.

First things first is to dig over and prepare the ground. As much as I want to get planting I need to wait a couple more weeks (not something I am good at).

So far we have got up early both mornings to work on the land and there have only been Robins to keep us company (to be honest that is my favourite type of company).

Rhys has been digging over and I have been cutting back the raspberry canes, the right hand side and bottom of our plot is covered in them - so I am hoping I will be making lots of raspberry jam this year. I have been raking over the land and we are basically trying to get it in a good state for planting.

Here are some pictures for you (and me).
