Making a start!

Finally I have made a start on my new allotment. After fixing up all the windbreak which surrounds the plot our  first purchase was a brand new compost bin.  I never imagined what a huge decision we would have to make on deciding where to place the bin.........we settled on the middle of the plot to avoid walking from one end of the plot to the other. No doubt I will get enough excerise from digging!
My first official plants to go into my allotment are blackberries which were bought from Mr Middleton on Mary Street. Backberries are one of my favourite  fruits from childhood. I have fond memories  of collecting these in a bucket during  the month  of September  and my Grandmother  making Blackberry & Apple Jam.
