Welcome to Muddy Boots Allotment Blog

Welcome to our little on-line journal, scrapbook, diary... call it what you will about our allotment, where you can keep up to date with all the things we grow, jobs we do and time we spend down at our allotment.

This blog isn't a Gardeners World top tips and How to place, more a place for two amateur gardeners to share our seasons with other green fingered folk and the time we spend down on our plot digging, weeding, growing and relaxing.

We took on our allotment about a year ago March 2013 after waiting for a while on the usual long waiting list to get a chance to have a go at growing your own! The plot was in a bit of a mess when we started (we'll post some pictures up to show you) and we spent a large chunk of last year tidying the place up and halfway through the season threw in some bits and pieces, fruit, flowers and vegetables and waited to see what grew well and what didn't do so well.

We had a really fun 1st year sorting the place out, building a summerhouse, buying some tools and generally just getting our hands dirty and our boots muddy and learning as we went along.

This year we decided to write a blog about the allotment to capture the beautiful changes a space like this goes through during spring, summer autumn and winter and to create a way to look back on our efforts. We hope you keep dropping by...
