Brambles and hawthorn bushes cut down and piled up in a huge bonfire. Jasper the allotment dog helped.

FEBRUARY 2013

Our plot, a field that has not been cultivated for over 20 years, probably a lot longer. The field is on a hill, very exposed and windy, but does get full sunshine all day. Unfortunately we share the field with a large badger set, so a lot of fencing will need putting up before we can plant anything. The first job is to test the depth of soil and clear all the brambles and young hawthorn bushes sprouting up everywhere.
