So here we are with an aerial view of my allotment. It measures 25.8m by 7.8m and is just grass at the moment. It looks like a formidable job to attack it.
I’m looking forward to getting started and to sharing my progress

My first proper day on the allotment. I’ve planned to dig four big beds – marked out the first one with string 7m x 4.5m. Its about a fifth of my plot:

Seven hours of clearing my plot and 7 sq metres cleared. This is slow work but not too onerous as I am not in a hurry. It’s really relaxing just slowly turning the soil over one forkful at a time. 😊
