Allotment Update - October 2010

I've spent a few hours on the plot over the last couple of days.  The grass has taken hold again and is trying to get the better of me.  I will win, honest!


Each bed is being cut to size and dug over very deeply.  I would like to frame each bed with timber but this will prove very costly if I have to buy new wood.  A little later in the year I am going manure each bed, apart from the ones which are going to be used for parsnips and carrots.
