Our 2nd Plot!

Went to see one of the available plots on our first choice allotment site today.  Our second choice is working out really well but had to go and have a look anyway! Wasn't expecting to get too excited as really just wanted an extra bit of land to grow spuds.  However..... got more than we bargained for and very excited about our next adventure!  We have another half plot so in total we have a whole single plot now, albeit about  a mile apart!  This second one is great - has a shed which seems to be watertight and in very good condition, a polytunnel in pretty good nick with bark chip flooring, and ............. a greenhouse!  Not sure if that is staying yet, the previous tenant has a few days left to take it away but it looks doubtful, and its pretty entrenched and would take a big effort to do.  So fingers crossed it will stay.  There is a compost heap there and two big water containers, close to a tap and lots of pallets/netting/canes/general useful recyclable debris lying around too.

 

 

And the bit that I like?

Right by the railway line!  Thought that was really cool!  And not as noisy as you might think.  Got a nice new fence running along the back of the plot too which will be perfect for Simon to grow hops along for his brewing.  So that is our plot 2 and very pleased with it, now we will be able to grow everything we want.  Felt a little guilty at first having two plots on two allotments but it seems there isn't really a waiting list issue around here, we seem to be quite lucky, hardly waited any time at all for both of them.  Can't wait to get started.... again!

PS.  Just heard back from plot manager - greenhouse is ours! Was a gift for the allotment site and is a permenant fixture.  Excellent!
