How it all began

It started as a dream last September- our own little bit of land to sit in- and
maybe even to grow a bit of fruit and veg together with some nice flowers.

This is what we got- plot 89 on the Whipcord Land colony. The council cleared
it with a jcb, and we had a shed built.

the sight was thick with blackberries, and even now we are still digging out
blackberry crowns, but we should at least have a good crop.

In their infinite wisdom, the council workmen left the cleared top soil in a
bank towards the back of the plot. Behind this bank is our 'secret garden' which
has Lilac, Gooseberry and no fewer than six fruit trees.

We also now have plot 92 opposite the original land, and will have both plots
very full by next year.

This is the 1st bit of dug and cleared soil--- it was going to be a herb
garden, but now holds broad beans that are nearly coming into flower!

Finally a few of our seed beds taken from near the Peas!

Ps--- has anyone got a recipe for blackberry wine.
