I took over my allotment plot in January 2012, at the start it was just a grazed field, covered in grass and weeds. I dug 2/3s of it in January/February and had a very productive summer.
The story of 2012 can be found on the Dores website Dores Allotments

Wallflowers For The Spring
As I've said before, it's not just fruit and veg on the allotment, I grow flowers too.
One that works well is wallflowers especially as they are biennials. In June I planted two rows of seeds, White Ivory and Giant Pink.
Here you can see them growing, ready to harvest.
As the summer bedding in the garden is looking pretty tatty now, especially after this weekends wind and rain, I've cleared it away ready for the wallflowers.
Here's my walled flower bed on the drive, all planted up with the wallflowers, ready for the spring.
As the wallflowers are pink and white I've interspersed them with dark pink tulips that will hopefully grown up through the wallflowers.
