OMG! I've got an allotment.
I signed for it yesterday and we went over today and started emptying
the massively full and broken compost heap. (It's leaning over the
path so it's got to be sorted out)

I've got two big trees, a plum and an apple we're guessing by what's
rotting underneath it. And a little cherry and something else but
can't remember - they're about 18 months old.
A vine in the greenhouse
Two rows of raspberries
Some rhubarb! Hurray!
Some other berry thing that is as yet unknown.
Some strawberries
Jerusalem Artichokes

There's what looks and smells like celery in one bed but it's rotting
so I assume that's got to come out.

I assume I know which raspberry canes need pruning out by seeing if
they've got fruit on (It's been neglected since before everything
fruited in the summer...)
and grave vine - not got a clue what to do with that other than clip
off the dead fruit...

Congratulations! We got ours in November. We got the Jerusalem artichokes
and masses of weeds! We were left an unpleasant slimy heap of rubbish,
right where we have to put the shed [local planning rules dictate which
corner you have to put the shed in, but the green house can go anywhere!].
Also got two currant bushes, some sickly looking strawberries and the oldest
gooseberry bush on the field, which everyone is telling us to pull up!

And now, of course, we have furry little moles as well.

It's pointless to try and discuss ethics with a spider.
