My original neighbours left last year so I’ve now taken on the full plot.
It looks like chaos but I’ve cleared 3 loads of rubbish to the tip with more to go, including a broken trampoline and an endless amount of degraded plastic. The left hand hedgerow is also very over grown with lots of brambles. Now that I’ve cleared most of the rubbish I can hack all the hedges back next week. The tarps are all mine, seemed the easiest way to wrangle the first patch to make into a bed.

Before I planted any trees I’d agreed with the committee that 4 diseased unproductive plum trees needed to come out, and that when I took them out I’d replace them with new trees. This was originally the plan for when I had the one half with just two trees. But now I have both sides I’ve dealt with the left half too.
Tbh it felt like I was committing a crime cutting trees down but it was obvious by how soft the wood was in places that they didn’t have long for this world anyhow #allotment

I’ve been cutting the trunks of the trees into logs to make a log wall. And been attempting to make stakes out of coppiced hazel from the trees at the back to make surrounding supports for dead hedging where I can dump all the hawthorn hedge clippings next week.
In front of the dead hedge space there’s a big patch of mint in the ground with foxgloves and mullein, so I’ve bought some plug plants of extra native flowers and this will be left as a wildlife patch #allotment

I'd love to see a video called "American, Not Needing to Monetize Every Aspect Of Their Grifting Life Through Pointless Influencer Videos, Stows The Video Camera Away, And Instead Humbly Walks Down The Street To The Nearest Boulangerie And Buys The First Croissant They Find, Not Knowing, Nor Caring, If It Is The Best Croissant In Paris Or The Worst, But Is Nonetheless Satisfied, And More Importantly, Grateful"
Actually I don't want to see such a video. No need for it to exist.
