Tree's on the move

Welcome back to Reads Allotment Retreat - Plot 81.
There's been a bit more activity on the plot in the last 7 days. The most notable thing being that we have moved our tree's. This happened after a lengthy discussion with the Allotment Society, the full details of which are not worthy of print in this media. Suffice to say, we have redesigned our layout, to accommodate all 4 tree on our plot. I'm glad in a way that we did this now, rather than a few months down the line. Hopefully we have not stunted their growth too much by uprooting and replanting - only time will tell.
As you can see a bit clearer in this pic, I have had one of the large beds rotavated and made ready for planting. This was a chance occurrence after meeting my new neighbour. He had hired a machine to turn over his new plot, and he was only too happy to turn this bed for me too - Cheers Mark. Thats gonna save me a weeks digging! I have also asked my father-in-law to help out with his Mantis Tiller, and we hope to get this done in the next week or so. Time really has flown by, and this will be a great help to get the beds ready for planting.

Wifey has been busy too, getting Reads Retreat going with various plantings of seeds and bulbs. It really is gonna be busy this year as we try and juggle time between here and home. We're sticking with the adage of a little & often, and time will tell if this will work!

Thats all for now, but please bookmark us and come back soon.

See you then,

TTFN
