Dot's Maids of Honour cakes

Handover day on the allotment. Met Dot, the previous allotment holder and had a walk around the plot. Great blackcurrant, redcurrent bushes and raspberry canes, 2 well established apple trees and a jostaberry bush (no idea  what to do with the fruit of this). There's rhubarb and strawberry  plants.  Plenty of herbs particular sage & I think lemon balm. Dot was lovely to meet. Not a believer in straight lines unlike the military percision of some plot holders and liked informal planting...nice and refreshing attitude and one we'll subscribe to, too.  A very sunny  plot and no specific pests. The plot comes with a wee plot in a shared pollytunnel although Dot's neighbour is using this this year. I have agreed for my tomato plant to have a space though.

In order  to seal the deal coffee/tea and homemade Maids of Honour cakes were taken on the communal picnic bench in the brilliant sunshine.

The plot's all ours now......
