Even though there is the temptation to think that gardening requires patience, looking backwards it is astonishing how quickly things change. The two photos below show how much the overall plot changed in just five months.
The view looking North gives a clearer picture of the sweet pea gateway that Lynn planted up as well as a sight of the sweet corn beds in the distance and a better view of the rabbit proof fence that took up a lot of our early efforts.
The bed of squashes pumpkins and courgettes also shows very clearly the pace at which things have grown with these pictures taken at approximately monthly intervals.
The potatoes tell a similar tale, with harvesting having started by the time of the last picture and the potatoes being replaced with brassicas and late peas.
Of course the reason we took the allotment on was to grow stuff to eat, so harvesting is the main pleasure.
