After a long hiatus in writing about my little allotment in Thames Ditton, I thought it was about time to refresh this site, and what better time to start again than at the dawn of a new planting season.

So here we are: Plot 13. Lucky for me. I’ve spent the winter clearing out the weeds, digging over and liming the soil, repairing a damaged shed, finding a replacement for a stolen lawnmower, and now I think we’re pretty much good to go. The ground is just starting to warm up and its almost time to start planting little seedlings. How exciting … let’s see what the winners and losers on the plot are this year!
