So I'm sure by this point you're wondering....

Where do the shovels come into it?
Well those would be used on our allotment. I'm hoping that with time my baking and the produce of the allotment will become inextricably linked. I'd like to imagine myself a little later making beautiful strawberry cream teas or butternut squash tarts...however the reality may be me weeping over a few limp stalks.

It's very very early days yet and very much trial and error. We spent our first full day there the other day and put in some seeds and seedlings. Seed wise we put in radishes and rainbow chard as these are both supposed to have a quick turnover. We put in peas, dwarf french beans, cabbages and sprouts in seedling form as well as a young blackcurrant and blueberry. We inherited a strawberry patch and millions of raspberries canes which was a bonus...

Very much wing and a prayer at the moment but I shall keep you all updated!!
