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
Lovely sunny day here today, so I've been in the greenhouse pricking seedlings out.
Onions, cabbage and leeks are starting to sprout. Been pricking out Statice Blue and Dwarf Stocks, some for the garden and some for the allotment for cut flowers.
