Sunflowers transplanted
Fruit bed
Peas (and looming blackfly)
Second plot is mine: you can see the pea tripods
The last photo is a bit sad really. The site is really only successful when all plots are cultivated. There is so much wild seed in the air that it often feels we are a hiding to nothing….all this and people are on a waiting list for plots. It’s a bit of a disgrace, though I’m not sure who to be angry with. This really shouldn’t be happening. There are some motivated and talented allotmenteers tucked away in there working their plots – all happy to give advice for free (that’s what we love…) but their plots (like mine) are hidden behind the long grass. In the meantime, I’ll have to look after my mental health and not get upset about it…
If you are interested in an allotment in Newport, call the council and come and join us.
