We must be mad but couldnt turn down the opportunity of taking on a third plot. This one is in a bit of a state, but it has two saving graces, its slap bang next door to plot 1 and it has two very productive and very well established plum trees at the back end of the plot. It is worth taking it on just for the plums really but we have another 7 fruit trees ready to plant when this plot is cleared, which will be next Wednesday. The bonfire will be lit, grass strimmed, shed down and hopefully the ploughman will be in on Thursday to turn it over.
As its going to be mostly an orchard, we are not concerned with the weeds too much as it will be covered in membrane and mulched. The front third will be planted but it will be dug over after ploughing to remove what we can weed wise.
