An introduction to my plot

I am currently at the height of my second growing season on the allotment. I took on the plot in November 2009 after 2 years on a waiting list and spent the winter weeding and improving the soil as it was a newly created council allotment on heavy clay. I had an surprising end to my first growing season when I won the award of Aylesbury's Best New Allotment.

Here are some pictures of my allotment taken last month:
