Spring has arrived on the allotment. After coming back from a week's
holiday to Gran Canaria in the second half of March I was surprised to
find the allotment so much greener and with flowers opening everywhere.
Many of the perennials are coming back to life now and often the first
thing I do when visiting the allotment is to walk around all three plots
to look for new signs of life. It feels a bit like greeting old friends

Hi Nadine. I've just seen your allotment on Gardeners World and thought it was wonderful. I have a half allotment and will try to take some of your ideas to use on my allotment. Thank you for the inspiration and very best wishes
ReplyDeleteThank you very much, glad you liked it :-) Great you want to take some ideas to your own plot. I hope it will work well and you get lots of interesting wildlife too.
