OK so.....
Mr Lump does volunteer gardening for some landed aristocrats who have a small stately home near us.
I was speaking to the head gardener today about veggie this and veggie that and told him that we have teeny weeny raised beds and an enormous array of planters, buckets, tyres etc.
So he says 'Oh if you want an allotment you can have this'
'This' turns out to be 4 20x10 beds, 4 10x10 beds 2 6x3 beds - a polytunnel (needs cleaning but has an under soil irrigation system in place) about 20x14,
a fruit cage (needs some TLC) 14x12 - slabbed all around the beds that need some quite light weeding. A water tap with a 100ft hose on it, 6 old fashioned tall pottery bell jars (rhubarb thingies), rolls of black plastic, clear plastic cloches.
Its messy and needs quite a bit of work to clear the paths, deal with the weeds, get the beds ready and do some repairs but.....
We can use it for free as long as we give the Hall a third.
So where do we start?
