More room for more veggies!

It's official- we have today  taken on our third allotment.

 We had a call last night from our friend who deals with lettings to say we were next on the list and one (plot 78a) had become vacant. So without further ado we took a look this morning and we were starting work just after lunch!]The plot has been neglected (like most plots that become vacant) but it shouldn't be too bad to get on top of. Here's a pic I took this morning on our visit:-
 
We plan to clear the front area and woodchip it for somewhere to park the car(s) when we're there. This afternoon I dug a bed for the potatoes and dad started clearing some of the topgrowth at the front of the plot. Amongst the rubbish we discovered three great clumps of rhubarb which was a bonus and four small bags of well rotted horse manure- gotta be a good thing!
A few months down the line this will be full of fruit and veggies- keep checking in and watch this space...
