Well i had the pleasure of giving a 5 minute speech at Groundworks' South Yorkshire Annual Conference about Lotty and Big Al! a few anecdotes and some photos seemed to keep the crowd in order.

So Groundworks have been converting 2 former grazing paddocks into 30+ new allotments... I managed to speak to some "newbies" who had taken shovel to their new plot. Very exciting times, especially as this will reduce the waiting list to practically zero when all the plots come on line.

Big "Al" our new plot is going to take a bit of work to get on top of! having cut down the grass and weeds and got rid of some rubbish (thanks Groundworks!) and a bit of weeding we are getting back to soil. it will be a long process but hey ho, Rome wasn't built in a day
So with the new year upon us may i wish you all a Happy One and remember, the seed catalogues are exciting but you must resist.......
May your 2017 planting be enjoyable and fruitful
