There may be snow on the ground but it was a beautiful sunny day so I started my winter digging.
My aim is to dig the entire plot by mid February, so it's all ready for planting as soon as the weather warms up.
I'm not a great one for excessive weeding, so my aim is to turn the soil over so the weeds are buried and upside down.
I'll try and dig a section every 2-3 days.
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
This blog takes up the story in Spring 2013
