The allotment

I thought some folks might like to see the allotment. It is by this church in Ruscombe, the village next to Twyford.

The allotment is quiet at the moment. As can be seen below a few rows of leeks remain to be eaten. To the left of them are the shallots, these can be seen as brown dots in the picture. In the ground in a row next to them are the garlic (underground). To the left of the picture is an area all dug over and manured. This is where this years leeks will go. In the area to the right of the shallots is where this years onion sets will be planted later on in the spring when the leeks are all gone. You can just about make out the chicken wire that protects the plot against the local rabbits.

Sadly the plot next to mine ( in the background) and to the right of mine are both unoccupied which means I get weeds that grow from seed blown off the weeds growing in those plots. Hopefully this year someone might take these two plots over. It only costs five pounds a year !
