A small plot of land

The plot.

I have recently aquired an allotment. It’s about 35 x 10. The units are strides

It is very overgrown, but when I saw it I knew it was mine. The ‘old boy’ of the allotments tried to put me off by telling me there was no soil, and that i’d never grow anything there. Other comments such as “I wouldn’t go near that with a barge pole” have been pushed aside.

The first bit to be tackled

Anyway, after just a couple of hours work, I have already cleared a decent patch and started digging the (plentiful) soil…

Clearance at first break

First test dig - see, there is soil!
