Our New Allotment

I wish we had a camera! All we could do yesterday to record how messy our new allotment was to video it a bit. But believe me, it's in a right state - but that's the idea, right? Helen was off work again, so she came with me, and I did a bit of digging, turning over big clumps of the hard, clay earth.
Some of the other allotments are beautiful, though. I felt really inspired to make ours into something beautiful and productive. We want to plant flowers and some veg. Some of the other plots have chickens, but I don't think we'll be down every day to acommodate that kind of diversity.
Today I'm going to try to chop down a good proportion of weeds, so we can cover some earth in black plastic until we're ready to use it. Any tips are gratefully received! Here we go!
