Dee's "Allotment " garden

Created on Thursday, 13 Sep 07

I have a ten rod Allotment in south London that is currently badly overgrown with brambles,couch grass and weeds.

Theres still a fair way to go. When i took over the plot in July 2006 I estimated it would take around three growing seasons to get it fully cultivated, weather permitting :)

    Hi Dee, I’m shocked to be getting comments already!! This site is brilliant. Like Ravelry but with plants! Stuffed chard leaves is one of my very favorite Lebanese dishes. I’m hoping some of the later growth on my plants will be healthier and therefore available for eating.
