Here are some images tracking the development of my allotment over time since I finally acquired it in April 2007 as a roughly rotovated 10 rod (125sq metre) plot that had not been
cultivated since the 1970s – over years of heavy digging (and consequent golfers’ elbow!) and incremental improvements…. always cultivated organically and now no-dig.
First view of the roundabout site
a proud day – the shed arrives!
first planting…
taking shape…
nearly all dug over now
strawberry baskets on bean poles
starting to look like a huerto now
new box edging 2012
crimson flowering broad beans
lavender and the rustic arch
posh new compost heap
thyme and chives
harvest of the day
Huerto 
Absolutely staggering what you have made there Ruthie!! Paradise indeed!

Wow – this is really inspiring! I’m about to move my veg patch to a grassy corner of a field. Hope it’ll look like this one day!

Thanks Lucy, it’s amazing what you can do with perseverance – I sometimes look back and can’t believe how much the plot has changed over time. Best wishes for your project and don’t overdo it :0)

Sent here by Ashen, and glad to be so directed. An amazing achievement. Enviable. I used to have a garden (never as productive except of roses) until I decided to be a writer! Since when no time to engage with real life. Congratulations!
