  • After a lot of hard work over the last 18 months at last my allotment is really beginning to take shape. I've 'reclaimed' a load of additional space from a massive tangle of brambles and ivy and it's starting to be prodctive.

    My pond has newts and frogs (although the frogs may only be visitors).

    My rhubarb and gooseberry obsession is on its way to being sated.

    AND... after a year in the ground I've just spotted my first proper spear of asparagus. It's only the plant's second year so cropping might not be a good idea but the growth last year looked strong so I might be able to take a few spears.

    All I need now is a machine gun for the squirrels and wood pigeons that keep digging up my strawberies/eating my plants.
