Here is my violet patch, two different types of violets for a nice area to grow. I have lots of rocks and some tyres for the violets to grow and spread out upon. So hopefully this will add some nice colours along with the lavender.

Lavender Walk/Purple Corner
These are the lavender pieces Brian picked from his own yard while outside in his Misses NightRobe and nothing else! They’re starting to settle in well and with luck we’ll have a large group of Lavender bushes along the path into the hut/storage shed.
Just behind the Lavender is a nice White Snow Rose Bush that would really show off the Lavender nicely. Also in the patch of flowers are some Violets and Purple Mums as well, so mainly a whole purple corner!

>After dodging monsoon rains, watching a smoke from a scrap yard fire we was able to get a lot done with help from a couple of friends (one is now on the list to hopefully get 1b)
Bit out of date now (the clump of grass closest to the camera is gone) but this is what can happen if you just dig

We was given 7 lavender clippings by Brian so they get lined up next to the door to the hut.
Apart from the old asbestos roof which is to be removed and replaced by the council the building itself is quite sound, was told by the council that it’s available to us to use as a shed. According to one of the older allotment holders we’ve now got the most secure sheds in the site (well after a door is on) bit of cleaning up the guy before us allowed fly tipping so there is a bit to deal with.
Potatoes are growing well got some more (earlies) as a ‘just in case they grow’, hoping to get some turf so the area in front of the hut looks nice and that it’s safe for the mutts to finally come.
Since the council also dealt with the pile of rubbish and clipped tree I was able to plant some sunflowers along the side of the hut.
