First crop

Although Jono harvested his potatoes earlier, this is our first crop from the allotment. Its hard to believe this is just from 1 row of potatoes and 1 row of onions! Although we had a few potatoes that were no good due to the weather most of them were in great condition.

Progress has been slow during this growing season, but as crops come up we are now starting to put in raised beds to help keep it more organised for next year and to clearly define the paths. Tom and I put the second of these in last weekend and Jono put the other one at the top in the week before and already has leeks, Strawberries and Lettuce growing in it.


Although not shown here there has been significant progress on the bottom 3 allotments. Due to the efforts of Chris Lee and a few others the trees are being felled and ready to start burning and logging. We should have enough for a few bonfires now the nights are starting to draw in.
