I love nosing around other people's allotments and gardens. Whether someone I know is showing me around or I'm peeping over a fence to take a look it's always fascinating to see what other people are growing and how they're growing it. On this basis I have decided that this year I am going to let all of you have a good nosey around my allotment (and sometimes my garden too!) Every week I will post a selection of pictures that will give you a good idea of what's happening on the plot. I know I already post pictures on here but they're the nice ones that support the different things I'm writing about on the site. These new Plot Shots will be different...
They will give you a warts and all impression of what's going on on Plot 45 from plants that are doing really well to weeds I can't get rid of and damage that the rabbits have done. I hope it will serve as an honest portrayal of the ups and downs of maintaining a veg plot, and will offer inspiration and commiseration in equal parts to those of you who are having a go at growing their own.
So here I go... Plot Shots #1 - I hope you enjoy it.
