Today, we spent some time at the allotment digging out the beds, which had become overgrown and full of weeds since the last owners left. We managed to root out 3 of the beds fully, and churn in some compost and nutrients while we were at it. 3 down, 3 to go!
We managed to construct a bamboo trellis (aka 'the wigwam') for the peas, beans, and other climbers. At the moment it's got 4 broad bean plants and 3 runner beans, and will have 3 or 4 pea plants clambering up it in the next few days. It's pretty ghetto, but does the job and gives the patch a more worn-in, homely feel. The only way is indeed up!
We've also started planting some of our plants, including the courgettes (to the left of the wigwam), and a number of tomato plants. Great work so far, but still a way to go!
