It is a quiet month and obviously we are itching to get cracking but there are still things we can get done on the plot.. a tidy up, some lost plants and a compost workshop!

We also have a new strip that was overgrown that our neighbour has said we can make use of.. lot's to do ahead of the gro...

This year, we’re determined to make the most of our allotment and (hopefully) do better than ever before!
