A barrow full of bindweed and nettle roots from the top of the plot near the hedge. Better out than in I reckon!

A Job well planned ...
... is a job half done, as my great grandfather used to say. Always sounded very wise until someone told me he was teasing my grandfather for not just getting on with the job in the first place.
That's not to say planning the allotment year isn't one of the best bits. I didn't do it last year, and it showed.
But last night was great. Just me, Andi Clevely, Dr D.G Hessayon and the organic gardening catalogue website!
That's not to say any of these things will actually happen, but I'm excited. Excited about the thought of having an entire legume bed, sorting out my compost system, building a salad table, nurturing 2 different types of sprouting brocc, and interplanting them with summer cabbage. And my anti-slug plans ... well more of them later!
Anyway - I've commited to these in digital ink now - so you can mock me when they don't happen.
Happy planning!

Green shoots
Some bulbs are poking through, the rhubarbs's back, and the leeks are still hanging in there. An encouraging start to the year.
