Plot 4 Before Work

Formerly a waste plot due to previously using a heavy tractor to try to drain it, but which had the opposite effect by leaving deep waterlogged ruts! After much reclamation work we were finally able to bring it into cultivation.

Plot 4 During Work

Pete with the HAA rotavator to break up the clods left by Chris. (Chris and Dave sitting in judgement...)

Plot 4 Final

Pete & Dave's first season's harvest from a previously unusable swampy plot.

Plot 5

Plot 5 - Weeding the onion plot on the 23rd April - needing a good downpour!

Plot 5 - Potatoes, carrots, lettuce and beetroot have been planted.

Plot 5 - Plenty of gooseberries and the first pots of jam !

Plot 17

Sophie with their “new” shed in position. She towed it up by Landrover from a disused empty plot down by the gate. A result!

Plot 17

The “new” shed turning the corner on its skid at the top of the hill, en route from its previous location lower down by the road hedge. Sophie adjusting the tow rope.

Comment from Sophie & Gaetan

We now have an infra-red trail camera & have started using it to capture the surprising amount of wildlife that roam our plots after sundown & before any of us get out of bed...
