The Allotment is MINE!!

OK, although still on hold "in principle" I've finally been granted an allotment near (ish) my house!! :)
It is incredibly overgrown and needs some work to get it ready; and, although the house renovations are still getting in the way, I feel I have at least a little time to do some groundwork preperations!

Luckily I have a very good friend who works in a landscape gardening firm, so it's petrol strimmers at the ready to clear the land down of the overgrown grasses etc... I've not worked out what I am going to do with the 1/5th bramble that I have inherited, but I should think I can cut that back sufficiently with some thick gloves and shears. I'm a little tempted to TRY and keep some of it - I do LOVE bramble jelly!!
