Well I've been paying the fees to the council for the allotment - so there has always been the plan to get back to the plot. I'm unlikely to get the evaporators working, as the only good droids I had have disappeared.
But, at home base, I've got a back garden with a set of plants (mainly soft fruits) ready to take down, so a number of positive pieces were in coming together to restart this spring season.
The biggest boost by far though has been interest, not from distant galaxy, but from a friend/neighbour. Mary is an allotment master (having a lot more years experience) , I will be her apprentice.
We've decided to work the plot together, and have already been down a couple of days to clear some raised beds and get some chitted potatoes planted (Maris Piper).
Also got a lot of seeds growing in trays on the kitchen window ledge at home, so once frosts are over we'll be in a good position to get the allotment plot fully operational.
That will take the rebel scum by surprise!
As expected the plot has run wild in a lot of aspects...but an extra pair of hands will make the managing of the plot a lot easier!!
So here's to a new beginning, and to the harvest of 2kilo of Rhubarb from the plot.
Until next blog I make.
