Claire has sent me these photographs which show what ingenuity and hard work can achieve.
She has built well stocked beds with mulched walkways.
I received these photos recently. Claire took the first one when she took the plot over in October 2011. The others show how she has transformed the previous wasteland. Brilliant! 
Ann sent me these photos at the end of April. Unfortunately I have been unable to revamp dig your plot until now.
She has added a new fence ,and built this new fruit cage, with the help of her cousin who cultivates the adjacent plot.
Dawn's handiwork featured in the 2006 review, and she has sent me an update.Currently Dawn is growing broad beans, peas, sugar snap peas, onions, garlic, parsnips, carrots, shallots, broccoli, beetroot, salad onions, yellow mangels, turnips, swede, purple sprouting, potatoes, courgettes, squashes, melon, sweetcorn, green beans, runner beans.She has also planted some perennial items, a range of herbs, an apple tree a crab apple, a nectarine, an apricot, 3 blue berries 3 gooseberriess, 2 goji berries and rhubarb. Hey it's probably easier to say whay she isn't growing!
Dawn has been accessing her local Starbucks for free coffee grounds as they are ph neutral and high in nitrogen so are great for brassicas.She also reports success with "chitting" parsnip seeds on damp kitchen roll, which is a very good idea to overcome the problem of having to keep them damp in order to get them started. A good tip, like those top ten ones Dawn originally supplied for the "Getting Started" section.Nice one Dawn.
and I’ll put it in next month’ s gallery)
