It’s been six months since taking on the back half and three and a half months for the front half. Then to now photo comparison taken from the same spot. #Allotment #NoDig

An overgrown allotment plot in mid November. Yellowed leaves of raspberries dot around the front dominated with green fresh growing grass or the dead brown variety. In the distance the brown shed can be seen with its black square window. A sprawling blackberry bramble is halfway down.

Same plot, in mid May. The ground has been cleared of undergrowth and largely mulched. Raspberry canes are in full leaf and bumblebees, honey bees and solutary bees are visiting often. Various bamboo cane structures are up to support climbing plants. A wood chipped central path follows past the blackberry now trained to posts and wires and down to a just visible extended blue shed. An orange bucket indicates where a container small pond is located. The only thing that’s been cropped from this plot so far has been an out of picture rhubarb but there will be lots of harvests to come.
