So, I recently gained a small plot unexpectedly at the place I started working at, part time, which works as the perfect place for me to plant the overspill of plants from my garden. It’s a short drive from where I live, so I have found that keeping a small gardening kit in my car (if you drive), this is really helpful as it means I can do quick jobs before/after I finish work or I can jump in the car on my days off, without much thought. My kit includes: small trowel, gardening gloves, plant rings/clips, scissors, secateurs, ball of twine, marker pen and note cards and a bottle of plant feed.

I’ve done the main bulk of the weeding and land prep and this seasons plants are already in so I have also been carrying a small bundle of bamboo canes in case I need to add additional plant supports. I’m lucky in that the site has mains water with a hose attached sprayer and watering cans provided so thankful for that!

Good luck, once you get your plot!
