How satisfying Bluebell I know you have mentioned going to your allotment , so you are obviously doing well and living it. Any other harvests yet? ?

Loving it ?

Thank you Namsnanny I was really unsure whether I should take it on I thought I was probably a bit too old now and it was up to my waist in weeds so that was 9 months ago It’s kept me sane in the lockdown though

ginster these photos for starters
I ve put potatoes, shallots, courgettes, sweet corn and tomatoes for this year I just wish I had one years ago I never realised how cheap they are to rent and I ve loved it put my favourite music on in my headphones and dig and weed away
I inherited all the strawberry plants and lots of raspberry and gooseberry plants (also lots of weeds, stones glass and all sorts ?)

You’ve done really well. ?. Digging and clearing waist high weeds is no mean feat. Very therapeutic though and lovely results. Enjoy your time there.
