we are now custodians of a further two plots , both of which have been run as wildlife gardens for some 20 years and in need of a lot of work to clear back to growing land. the boundary between plot 3 and 4 is blackberry and plot four may well become the fruit plot. plot 3 is going to retain a garden feel with raised beds and a pond eventually. there are many sheds all of which are ready to fall down so a new building will go along the back edge of plots 3 and 4.

or not , as the case may be , seems we were welcome to look after plot 3 and 4 but not actually disturb anything. in light of this we have left the two plots to revert to nature for the time being.

in other news there's a new plot 3 on the cards. the one to the south of plot1 is coming up for grabs at the end of march 2010 and we are expanding sideways to fill it. =0)

plot 2 is now clear of all the green cover in the aerial view below and is now under full cultivation.
plot 3 has been well looked after for many years and should come with a few nice raspberry canes in. there is a shed on the plot which has been used by charlie from the next plot along for years , we're keeping him on as resident "cantankerous old sod" ;0)
