Vinny's Allotment Plot

Visited plot yesterday to drop off three trays of ten leeks I had potted on into 4 inch pots and put them on the greenhouse staging.

It was only then that  I realised the enormity of my proposed new diagonal bed system, now the snow has gone. This will entail a lot of marking out and there will be a lot of soil to shift around. Even though my plot appeared fairly level it wasn't until some marking strings were added did I realise how much soil would need moving to level it up.

I have set myself a goal to try and complete the diagonals on one side of the plot this year. As well as the levelling I will need to shift around plants that are already growing.

All the raised beds on one side will be added to the other side temporarily which will also entail working and transplanting growing crops.

I have already decided that the first diagonal will be filled with spring cabbage and the second one with strawberry plants to allow me to move one strawberry raised bed and free up the spring cabbage seed bed.

I just hope I don't get overwhelmed with the work required and gawd knows what the other plotholders will think when they see the plot in the transition stages.

Up to now I have talked a good idea, now its getting close to actually getting summat done.

Don't forget those videos Vinny

I would be a bit embarrassed to do a video now, but maybe after I have made a start I could try a few videos to show progress. 

You have to do one now to show the progress, as much for you as us. I love looking at the old pictures of my plot when it was just 6ft high weeds
