2nd May

The new bit of allotment looks as though it's always belonged to rest of my allotment.  Ive planted brussel sprouts, and tomatoes, and marigolds with the tomatoes as companion plants on it.  I also started digging a new pond. The origional one is small and this one will be deeper, and because the land is slightly higher than the first one, Im not joining them, but Im going to over lap the butyl so any overflow will go into the older pond.  The seating area now has a windbreak which I put up when we are using it, (Ive always wanted a windbreak, :o) . )  Ive also got two compost bins on the new end, and a new waterbutt, the other one was small.
Johns allotment is looking good with leeks, onions, dwarf beans and various seeds planted. He's put a waterbutt on there to save walking to the tap for water.
Its all exciting! and weve only just started. :o)
Seating area.
 Pond started, the second pond is behind the planting.
