I've just been given control of the family allotment - which means that although I would love the huge garden I was trying to control before I will have to let it go back to being a little wild.
My MIL did not organise the digger she had promised which has pretty much ended my contract with her to tidy up the garden.
The allotment is a fantastic substitute and is 5 mins from my house (my MIL lives 25 miles away)
It has just enough space for all the veg I need and a few trees - 2 apples, 2 plums, 2 sour cherries and a giant sick looking pear tree.
Not really sure what to do with the trees as they cast quite a bit of shade over half the land. I'm sure the pear will evetually have to come down as the leaves are covered in orange spots.
The whole plot has been taken over by wild strawberries and a few flowers and luckily, even fewer weeds, so I am looking forward to clearing it for next year.
