No 5 King Street
Since getting this plot last year quite late, I have done so much digging and de-stoning I feel like a proper labourer. I got a shock when I saw it - 10.5 meters by 20.5 meters. not sure if that is usual for plot sizes, but it is enormous to me. I started by marking out 2 meter lengths and digging all of the stone out and almost breaking my back - lots of hot baths later I had made quite a big stone and weed wall at the front of the plot.
The nice council faries came one week and spirited this away, so no trips to the skips needed anymore!
I planted and destoned, and watered for all of 2007 but apart from potatoes and carrots galore, nothing else realy grew so 2008 is my I'll get it all right year. Wait and see.

I have white, red and normal onions in already along with 2 types of garlic which are all growing away nicely. The last of the potatoes really should be dug up and binned as they must be frosted by now. I got some strawberries from Marshalls posted at the end of last year and they seem to have survived so far, will wait to see if they grow any in the coming months. A couple of the artichokes also came with very small heads which I felt sorry for so left them on - they look like sticks now. Lots of my plot I have put flowers in so I can pick some now and then, the roses were the best last year and the pruning seemed to go okay. I am just waiting for better weather now, lots of seeds bought to try this year can't wait!
