The plot was overgrown with mainly grass and weeds. We also spotted lovely poppy heads and teasles which should have spread their seeds around for a good bloom in the summer.

Day one
Welcome to our blog. We aim to keep a diary of our first year on the allotment in Salisbury. Day one and we collected the keys in October 2010. The 5 rod plot is shaded and secluded in a lovely spot, handily positioned in full view of continuous trains passing by for Sammy to say "another choo choo" every ten minutes. Bliss. The water station is nearby and a friend for Louis two plots up from his school. They very kindly gave us sausages on the BBQ and halloween chocolates on our first visit. Thank you Marina!

Snow came and went over winter and Lou and I visited to see what we could see. Ice chunks for Louis and frozen poppy heads for me. Our next visit would be a while until the ground thawed...........
