Exciting to follow your journey of your allotment! Also make me feel more positive about cracking on with my own kitchen garden, which doesn’t have such difficult foundations to overcome. Will send you a photo 😘🧡

Love this Lucy. As I witness you working your plot, you are inspiring me to get out in mine and start preparing the beds. Unfortunately I've neglected it for a few months and the Oxalis is now completely out of hand!

Beautiful and inspiring, Lucy! And there’s something so right about it - the process of working with the earth, one step after the next, doing what needs to be done.

I hope you used a blade strimmer and not a nylon reel,as your forever stopping with the reel.

Well, your progress may encourage me to plant up the allotment I infrequently attend.

Take care.

Best wishes.
