Marshall’s first visit
15th of November 2009
The Marshall’s have laid the foundations for their raised beds. Square beds were the order of the day, marked out as the sun set. Next steps, build the frames, but that will have to be another day…

Beds raised
A little lighter in the wallet and few days richer for the experience, the beds have been put into the Arnold plot. Six little beauties have been installed into the Tring Allotment Fringe.
Help was called in (and offered) and in the end the beds were going in in under twenty minutes. Dan and Andy set to with saw, hammer and, in the dying stages of the day, a sieve.
In other news:
- Gary and Rachel came up and bought apple cakes. One of our beds has now been dug to a depth of six feet
- Winston fought with Baxter. He mostly lost.
- Charlotte has asked me to mention she dug the pathways. Brilliant pathways.
- I’ve geeked-out and added a sowing calendar to the website. Probably a complete folly but its been a great way to look at each plant and work out sowing and harvesting.
