Frogs, compost bin and surprise vegetable bed!

Whilst clearing all the dead grass from the plot I found a little frog hiding!! I was so pleased as I love frogs and they are great to keep the slug population down.

I came across a whole family of frogs hiding in the gaps in the edges of the vegetable bed 😊🐸
The next job was to start making a compost bin. I did this with the help of my daughter who is very handy with a hammer and nails. At the allotment site we have old crates delivered as well as compost and wood chip. We made a compost bin out of some of the old crates.


I carried on clearing the dead grass on the plot and found a surprise vegetable bed! The compost in it was actually really good, but it wasn't very deep. About 10 inches down there was a layer of concrete slabs. I came to the conclusion that a greenhouse must of sat there at some point.
