 A sad farewell to our allotment.  We've worked hard for over two years to tame the beast and had largely succeeded.  We also erecting a super summerhouse-type shed, complete with water butts and paved seating area.  
Now it's time to hand over to new people and, although it's a relief as we have so much to do packing up to move away, it's still with great regret that we handed the keys back yesterday.
We did one last picking: broad beans, strawberries, lettuce and onions. Also lifted some comfrey (see above), strawberry plants, raspberry  and blackberry canes and two blueberry plants to take to the next place.
The new people seem very keen so I feel that they will continue the good work.


Now we're looking forward to making some raised beds and finding a nice sunny wall to start growing more fruit and vegetables for us, although perhaps not on such a grand scale.
The end of an era ....
