A Plot Too Far? Two allotments, two different sites. It seemed like a good idea at the time. Proposed Allotment Rent Increases in Sheffield. Summer time and the living is. All a bit mad really. What with kids being off school, going on holiday, the allotment going mad and job hunting.

A south-facing plot on a sloping site in south-west Sheffield, with aspirations to become a vineyard. Monday, April 21, 2014. It just needs a bit of rain to soften it up now. Fertility a go-go, eh? Links to this post. Saturday, March 08, 2014.

Saturday, September 30, 2006. Well I thought it was high time i started blogging again. It seems despite the best of intentions I just dont seem to have found any time to keep the blog more up to date. Now with a new season ahead i shall endeavor to keep you posted on developments in my garden, and perhaps provide a summary of the past few months since i last posted to the blog.

When we took over the plot it was all covered in weeds, like any other new plot. We cleared the weeds and started digging the new beds. And started to find potatoes. EVERYWHERE! From the Guardian Allotment Blog. Aaron Pilot seems to have. So the weed roots wer.
