Allotment chaos

I was so happy to finally get an allotment. Phase 1 of our plan to be more self sufficient looked like finally becoming more of a reality. Unfortunately it also coincided with our Blu  being a very hungry monkey and the ginja ninja's health taking a turn for the worse. So not quite as expected.  Mum and I had been trying to keep on top of it but she whil full time and whenever I try to go down Blu  screams the entire time. Cue chaos .....the allotment began to take on an Amazonian appearance.
Our allotment is one of the smaller ones, only goes as far back as the blue plastic fencing and sadly has no shed or storage on it either. We have ben gathering wood from a friend of ours to build some raised beds and storage but it has taken a while to collect it all together. Mum and I managed to get some cleared though. Blu even slept for a short while in the sling which allowed me to dig up most of the potatoes (yes there were actual vegetables amongst all
 that foliage. We still didnt manage to get any new veg beds built but we did clear 10 ft by 25ft ish space. We put weed control fabric down and weighted it with some of the wood for now.
