Start of the digging season

So the digging has begun in earnest this weekend. Yesterday was particularly heavy going, being the first proper bit of digging I've done since last year. But, as with most things you've done before, I soon found myself settling in.

This time of the year is particularly exciting as you see signs of plants and trees stir to come out of dormancy.

And then, there are the elusive ones that you see once in a blue moon.  This weekend there was a lot of activity on the site.

As always here are some photos of this weekend's allotment activities.
