Here is the original layout of beds in the allotment. Some were OK (needed weeding), others were completely overgrown. The beds make up about a third of the allotment and we need to increase this to over half the allotment by next spring. At the top left of plot, next to bed 3, there is a “Patio” area, it has carpet now and had paving stones on top. Plan to convert it to a large bed before spring.
Bed 10 has had the good strawberries transplanted to the other beds (8/8/21). So is now clear to dig.
