We just used old red building bricks that were lying around the allotment - half burried and then pointed with soil. Good luck in your search, sorry I can't help. Hi Joe,

I've been looking for just this. Where did you get it? I hope you don’t me asking, but you mention having a bed with “classy brick edging”. I’ve been looking for just this. Where did you get it?

We had a similar 'Oooh, that's a lot....' response when we went to our local allotment shop to buy onions... I think they can spot newbies a mile away and delight in making us feel like the novices we are. We planted our early potatoes (home guard) a couple of weeks ago, but we've also got Picasso potatoes, they're chitting away nicely. We were told that they'd grow to be baking potato size (which is what we ideally want) so I'll be interested to see how you get on with yours! Sarah Hiya -

Well we hope so anyway! Can't wait to munch it, but I suppose we'll have to :) We're going to get a few more varieties I think. Thanks for looking! It’s coming along quite nicely thanks.

Just found your blog (somehow... no idea where I got here from lol) and it's been a great read. You seem to be in a similar position to us with a new plot, just a few months down the line in terms of digging and with a few more fixtures and fittings inherited on your plot. Looks like you're ready for your first growing season though, bet you can't wait! It'll be a bit of a rush for us to get all our beds dug in time but we're on track. I hope.... ;) How's that garlic doing? Paul Helloooo!

I presume that you are planning not to walk on the soil? Good plan, you should get some good crops off those beds. Keep up the good work you two and see you soon!

This Autumn I dug out a wheelbarrow full of broken glass from under the back hedge and at a previous site I managed to fill a bath with broken glass (nice of the fairies to leave the bath though). Enjoy your allotmenting. I’m convinced there are allotment fairies who make it their job to bury broken glass and sheets of corrugated iron on untended allotments.

You have certainly been working hard. We will have to come down and help especially at harvest time !! Keep up the digging we will come and help clear the rubbish away as long as there are no more rats. It’s looking good. You have certainly been working hard.
