For a couple of years we have been walking past a weed-infested derelict plot on the way to our allotment.  It was worked (fairly briefly) in 2011/2 and there are a couple of rather forlorn apple trees that have just about survived from then.  We have been thinking about taking this plot on.  Like ours it is half a standard plot, but would still represent a considerable extra commitment.  Much of the ground work on the first plot was put in before the gardening business took off; starting a new plot from scratch would be a tougher proposition.  Nevertheless, after some cogitation we decided to see whether this plot was available.  It was and we’ve started the process of bringing it under control.
