I got the allotment
Got a phone call this morning to say that I'd got the allotment. I'm going to be officially introduced to it on Tuesday.
I went to take a look this morning. If I've found the correct plot, then it's in pretty good condition. The last owner just wanted to harvest his winter greens before passing it on.
It looks pretty empty apart from a few sad looking raspberry canes and some rhubarb, but there's little in the way of serious weeds (which I'm sure won't be the case for long!).
This has come at both a good time and a bad time.
I'm struggling under masses of convention work, but the physical break will probably help me cope with the stress.
It's a good time of year to take over a plot, there's still time to get things in the ground.
Once I've had a day or two to do some thinking, I may well take up various people on offers of seeds and the like.
Meanwhile, what jobs would you do late March/early April? And what would you do to the part of the plot that will have to stay fallow while I'm working on the first section?
