Salad bed, broad beans and strawberries

I am so lucky to have such helpful and generous allotment neighbours :) One neighbour helped me make a salad bed where I found the surprise vegetable bed. He gave me an old greenhouse base as a raised bed which sat perfectly ontop of the old vegetable bed and then filled it up with lots of compost! That saved me a lot of work and I could plant some seeds straight away!! I planted radishes, lettuce, kale and spring onions.

Two other neighbours gave me some strawberry plants and broad bean  plants. Everyone on the allotment are so helpful and friendly. I dug some more of the main vegetable bed over and planted the broad beans and temporarily planted the strawberries there too. I wanted to create a seperate strawberry bed at a later date.
