A quick snap to show my progress as of Jan 07 (meant to post this a while back!). The top shot shows the site when we took it on at the end of Oct 06. The bottom one is looking across the plot and gives you a feel for the progress we’ve made.
The back of the plot is still quite a state - it’s kind of banked up and to be honest it’s just full of burnt chair-legs(!), rusty nails and couch grass. Not ideal I grant you, but we’ll get there.
Weather permitting, this weekend I’ll try and get a picture of the site as it is now. But it might be under a foot of snow…

Great blog! I don’t have an allotment-just a front yard facing north, but I sure want one!
Congrats!

you can use the lid of an ice-cream tub as well. I did - the one i keep my seeds stacked in (like a card index file - divided by planting month, it works really well!).
i’m told you can cut up empty milk bottles the same way.
