The wonderous world of Allotments

My first attempt at allotmenting was approximately three years ago, whereby I took on a plot that nobody else wanted, it even had an anderson shelter in the corner. The plot was covered in the worse weeds imaginable, such as dock, bramble and horsetail and a massive amount of bind weed. It took me a week to clear a very small patch which would have fitted in one row of potatoes, but I persevered. The soil was clay, which on a dry day turned to concrete and on a wet day a death trap, but I continued for a few months. I managed to grow strawberries, brussel sprouts, as they loved it, butternut squash and several varieties of lettuce. which considering I was an utter novice, was a substantial achievement. However, being unexpectedly given the opportunity of attending University, gave rise to a decrease in hours dedicated to the allotment and the redwellies, along with giraffe wellies were semi retired, and relinquished my plot, but remained on the waiting list for a more manageable plot. Realising the need to be in the open doors, and to give my brain a rest from the constant studying, I was overjoyed with the news that the redwellies and giraffe wellies were to be given a second chance, and was offered a plot that had recently been given up by a ninety year old, the soil was heaven, I acquired a shed and some tools handed down from the previous plot owner, to whom I shall be ever grateful, and a letter of thanks was forwarded forthwith, so henceforth started the true journey of red and giraffe wellies, may they live long and prosper.
