It all starts here

OK this is my first Blog and i hope it is interesting to you all.

I will update as often as i can with the progress on my allotment.

I have grown a little in the past but hopefully with reading a lot and internet searching and lastly great friends full of advice, ill be successful and will pass on how i do to help others.

I got my allotment just under a year ago and completely redesigned it.

I am using a 4 bed rotation system with an extra bed for flowers to achieve two things, one to attract pollinating insects and birds and two to hopefully take some home for the house.

a few other beds are for fruit and for herbs and spices.

and lastly i hope to grow grape vines to make my own wine with.

also i was lucky to inherit an elderberry tree to the rear so ill be using either the flowers or the berries to make more wines and jams.

Id like to thank all the people with hints and tips and my wife for putting up with me disappearing all the time (it will be worth it Dawn).
