That looks like a solid tidy up. Yeah the perfectly tilled plot appears to be the preserve of the retired gents and the large extended family that run a couple of plots together, on our site at least.
A mix of paths and beds has worked for us, are you thinking raised beds in future?
We haven’t so far as we have moved/changed a couple of beds over our time so only just reaching the point where we’d consider it. Paths can be dug over/moved easily enough but raised bed structures less so.
Each year we’ve probably put less time in overall but more visits- just going up for an hour or two a couple of times a week is often more productive than a whole Saturday for example.
Harvested a boatload of cherry toms on route to do some diy for a friend today. There'll probably be another bag full tomorrow as well.
As it seems we preserve most of toms as opposed to eating them fresh I think we’re gonna do big Italian plum ones next year instead of cherries.
