Default Our growing season

For those amongst you who are now wistfully casting your minds back to the
heady days of summer when your soil was workable (and visible), here is a
time-lapse of the growing season on our allotment.

It begins on 5th May, and ends on 17th Nov. I took a picture on every visit
to the plot, attempting to align the view the same each time, with varying
degrees of success. I tried to take the pics as close to midday as possible
because of the shadows, but again this was not always possible. Also the sun
was sometimes rather brighter than I would have preferred. I tried to take
the pic when the sun went in on days when there was some cloud cover, but
some days there was unbroken sunshine. I know that seems difficult to
envisage right now. And I tried to keep the watering cans etc from popping
in and out of view. Again with varying success.

I hope you enjoy it. Questions, suggestions, ideas and constructive
criticism all welcome. Next year I plan to do one of the whole year. Watch
this space.
