Photos here of my new allotment. I suspect this is the state that most
people's allotments are in when they first get one.

Oh, and can anyone identify the footprints in the last photo? I suspect
it's a rabbit?

It could be an alien - apparently the area is one of the hot-spots for UFO
sightings. Lived here for 10 years but never seen anything.

I know there's a hedgehog (or a rat !!) in the compost bin.

What, no brambles. But then it looks like you have quite some rubbish to
tidy up so I don't feel so bad. :-)

Those prints may well be Rabbit and if so you will need to invest in some
proper Rabbit Fencing wire netting (small mesh) and posts and ensure you
have a secure gate to your plot.

You lucky, lucky, lucky *******!

No brambles, no horsetail, no ground-elder, some usable compost bins and
'raised beds' and do I see some soft-fruit bushes? black-currants? Apply
for a shot-gun license and regard the rabbits as a crop! Most of us would
kill for that!

Exciting!
We've only got one really over-run bed and the rest isn't too bad.
Apart from the bit where he was making a pond.

Oh and found two frogs yesterday. And a spider the size of a horse.
