Plot 6 is a year old!

A few days ago was the 1 year anniversary of me getting hold of Plot 6 at Anson Way... In the last 12 months I have learnt a lot, but I've still got a long way to go!

Here are a couple of pics to remind you how much has happened in 12 months:

This time last year I was just beginning to dig the ground over for the first time. This year I am getting ready to harvest the broad beans and garlic, and over half of my crops for this year are planted - so far I have garlic, onions, potatoes (early and main crop), runner beans, broad beans, carrots, parsnips, spring onions, sweetcorn, peas, courgettes, beetroot, cucamelons, salad leaves, chives, asparagus, brussels sprouts, green cabbage, red cabbage, romanesco cauliflower and dahlias all planted out. There are a few things still to go out - leeks, more beetroot, tomatoes, more runner beans and the winter squashes (which will go where the garlic and onions are currently) but I am running out of room.

Broad Beans will begin harvesting this weekend!

I have really enjoyed my first year on this allotment, and the gang of people who have the other allotments around me are great.
