Time for an Introduction. Part 1

As the title says this is a blog charting the rise and rise of my own allotment here in Belfast.

The piece of land situated at Annadale allotments, beside the River Lagan, was given to me by Belfast city council one year ago. When I worked at the council about 5 years ago I put my name down on the allotment list in the hope of maybe getting one in the next 20 years. But due to council efficiency I got a letter last year bequeathing one to myself. I was very excited!

A small film of this excitement was lightly sanded off when I first went to visit my new piece of paradise as it was hip high in 6 years of crouch grass nettles and other all-sorted weeds.
