A friend of mine recently asked if we wanted to help with his allotment as he has been really busy with his landscape gardening business and he’d had a call from the local allotment officer questioning the amount of very tall weeds!
So the Mrs. and I agreed to help him out with it. So far all that has meant has been a load of weeding, digging over the potato bed to discover the gold beneath and planting a load of Japanese Senshyu Onions. We are off down on Saturday to have a bit of a bonfire i think, but no firm plans as yet.
It nice to have a bit more space to expand into, and things like squash and courgettes will probably remain at the clay soiled lottie from now on, with the excellent soil at home being used more for things like carrots and parsnips.

Wow congratulations, that is a very fine allotment. And despite the weeds problem it actually doesn’t look too bad, anything that has vegetables in it is doing well by my standards. Enjoy it.
