I got the key today and im going in Saturday with a few friends to get it cleared. There are alot of strawberries, some raspberries, blackcurrants, redcurrants, apple tree, cherry tree and a bit of rhubarb. We are going to keep as much as possible and plant a few broccoli (we have a few plugs) sow some peas, spinach, spring onion and leeks. The list is subject to change but any suggestions are welcome. I do have photos but I left my lead at work so I will add a link to them soon.

Hi and welcome to the vine
Exciting times ahead an don't be afraid of the hard work ahead
Weeding is my focus and always carry out twenty minutes of it every time I go to the allotment
Good friend I can guarantee you will meet who if in the same case so myself will give you great advice, support and lots of spare plants as it will take time to establish your planting regime
Happy gardening

Good luck with your new allotment.
That's a stroke of luck re - the fruit. Pretty late in the season to be taking on an allotment, but by the sound of it you'll be able to start harvesting within your first few weeks!
Maybe something quick growing like rocket would be a good idea just for this season.Pain is still pain, suffering is still suffering, regardless of whoever, or whatever, is the victim.
Everything is worthy of kindness.
