We've been so busy at the plot this week. The weather has taken a little break from raining and windy so the ground has been dry enough to rotovate.
We bought a petrol rotovator from Screwfix and in a few hours we managed to turn the whole left hand side of this area. It was bloody hard going but Mr Allotmum did an amazing job at wrangling the rotovator.
Once we'd finished and had a sit down this cheeky jackdaw came down picking up the worms that had been brought to the surface!
We're not sure what we're going to do with this area yet, maybe put some potatoes in, if we're not too late. I've got my bean sticks in and have put my 30 odd runner bean plants in.
