Nearly six month’s ago I did the first entry here on Flighty’s Plot and today the weather is just the same, only a lot colder!
I can look back on the intervening period with a great deal of pleasure and a real sense of pride.
The following photos were all taken earlier today, and which I hope give you an idea of what the plot now looks like.
This was taken from the roadway at the north-west corner.
Here’s the view in the opposite direction showing almost all the plot.
All my paths are wood chippings which were free, and are environmentally friendly. The area up to the path from the shed across to the grass pathway will be mostly for soft fruit, vegetables and a wild area. The area beyond that will be all flowers.
The soft fruit, a blackberry, six strawberries and nine raspberries, are in the area between the wooden box in front of the shed and the wood chip path, being visible as darker earth. The box is my compost heap, which is bigger, neater and less obtrusive than the previous one. Visible to the left of the picture is the pond
Once the grass has grown and the three lilies, one above pond, one on the left and the other not visible but to the left, have spread then hopefully it will fade into the background and not look like a washing up bowl!
Here’s my rosemary 
,
the hawthorn tree 
which is six inches high,
an aquilegia(?) 
and the log 
I want to thank everyone who has followed my allotmenteering exploits so far and commented so favourably on my progress.
A special thanks to Daffy who wrote this lovely poem
There was an aviation entry on a regular basis,
Until you discovered your own little oasis.
A place where you could set a seed.
A place to create and where birds could feed.
To start and grow from nothing at any rate.
A place where you could happily cultivate.
A place that is now in your heart to the core.
That very special place is Plot One Twenty Four.
