Inspired by the transition shots in Carol Klein’s Life in a Cottage Garden, I’ve decided to chose a few key angles from which to photograph our plot at TBA to chart how it develops over the year.
So, here goes for January… I’ve chosen 7 shots:
- view from the bottom of the plot
- herb and cut flower garden
- bank and living seat
- small beds
- main large beds
- pond and garden
- view from the top of the plot
We’re particularly organised for this time of year by our standards – beds are weed-free and manured, overwintering crops have been in for a few months and we’ve already started off early seeds at home.
Over the last few years we’ve been tackling deep-set perrenial weeds and trying to give the plot some shape by adding good paths, a shed, greenhouse, pond and garden etc. All while still trying to cultivate some ground in the meantime!
Lots to look forward to this year…
I have an allotment in northwood kirkby. It is run by the local comunity.and it is good fore the area . You here that many bad things in kirkby. But this is sumthing good for the erea instead. We have even got a picher of the pond into the gardenersworld magazine which we think is grate. We need more gardeners to help get the allotment going I love going to the allotment every day .
