Mixed Emotions
It's with a heavy but happy heart I write today. After 12 long years together, me and my allotment said goodbye to each other.
My garden is ready to take over the reins and so I dug out what I could and after 3 full car loads that was it.
I've got 2 redcurrant, 2 blackcurrant, tayberry, loganberry, 2 different rhubarb and all my herbs out. They're now in the garden soaking up a big drink.
As much of the hard landscaping as I could manage came too. I left the pallet coldframe and the hotchpotch of raspberries. Strawberries stayed as I've got new ones on order. Comfrey stayed and all my bright light chard was left for the new owner.
They were sad to see me go and the Chairman said they would have to be very careful as to who they let take on my plot. I walked him round what was what and then handed over the keys.
Tomorrow I start marking out the garden and laying paths for my new veg patch and the onions, garlic and broadbeans will be going in as I start again the vegetable cycle. This time however, I'll only have to walk down the garden rather than get in the car to do so.
