I’m sitting in Malta getting very excited about getting back to Pittington and our plot.

Since we took over plot 6 in April, we’ve managed to transform the allotment from a large patch of earth to a grid of paths and so far about 20 beds – all full of veggies and weeds! It’s been hard work, and we’ve needed the help of friends and family, but it’s been absolutely wonderful to see it take shape and actually produce some food for us.

The next challenge is to clear the back “wilderness area” and get it ready for fruit and another couple of beds for next year’s potatoes.
