And so it begins!

So, where to begin. I guess I ought to start with an introduction to what this blog is all about. In short, myself (Obi), my other half (Tammy), my brother (Matt) and his other half (Louise) have been growing edible stuff in our humble back gardens for a couple of seasons now, and have most definitely caught the bug.

After all, growing your own is the new black these days. So, given that we now consider ourselves gardeners, well, our gardens just weren't cutting it. And so our quest began for that ever elusive allotment. Given its new fashionable status, it seems a vacant plot was to prove hard to find.

Thanks to Matt and Louise's perseverance and obsession with free cycle, we managed to get our hands on a shared plot, our co-gardener keeping chickens and ducks on her half of the plot leaving the rest for us to do with as we please. This may seem like a dream come true, until you actually see the plot, I think these pics give the best representation of we had to deal with.

I am sure you will agree, this is going to be quite an undertaking, we have a shed to move, rubble to move and a well established grounding of weeds to dig out, the whole site is covered in broken glass too.

This blog will follow our progress, perhaps not daily, but as regularly as I can, it may be dull and for that I apologise, but please bear with me and I will try to make growing veg an entertaining adventure!

Ha, what a geek!

Let the growing begin!
