Default Wow!

Hi Peony, I have to say I'm so impressed with how you've been getting on! I've just been offered an allotment and have been to have a look at it for the first time this morning. I have to say I was feeling a bit overwhelmed with how much there is to do, but you have inspired me to crack on with it! You plot looks absolutely beautiful, I hope you get some bumper crops this season! I'll keep reading your updates to keep on inspiring me and providing lots of helpful advice. I've had the same problem with bindweed in my garden and despite going over the whole plot on hands and knees pulling out the roots, it still comes back, so I would just say do what you can, and keep an eye on new growth and just pull them up when you see them. It will probably die back in the winter so at least your winter crops will be bindweed free!

Good luck with everything, and of course, enjoy the eating of all those lovely veggies!
