We have been spending all our spare time at the moment when we are not on the road here. It is in full swing at the moment, our plants our sprouting, the weather is changing but this is what we have been doing the last few weeks and months.
We saved a bit of money and treated ourselves to a a shiny new Shed from Argos and managed to pick these pallets up from our allotment guru bill.
Adam and our family spent a long time helping us get them level, the ground was an old compost heap so the soil wasn't compacted which made it a bit tricky but he got it bang on in the end.
After much deliberating we finally decided which way to have the shed looking out over the apple tree and down to the chickens
Then came the really "fun" part if you can't tell I'm defiantly using fun sarcastically
View from the door
When it was finally finished "weeks later" we decided to paint it a bluey-greeny colour something to brighten up the plot,
Ta-da!
All finished on the outside its like having a beach hut in the allotment we are like proud parents.
We put in some flowers to draw the bees in, we are huge bee fans if we could we would love to keep some here.
Sarah putting in the flowers which we later moved because it didn't look right
Flowers - Violas, Delphiniums, wild flower mix with - ox eye daisies, cornflowers ,calendula and poppies (at the moment its hard to tell what is flowers and what is weeds)
Herbs - Sage, Lavender and rosemary
Me planning where to put everything this year its so confusing but I'm a strong believer in a good plan, trail and error plus a bit of hoping
Our onion sets doing amazingly

The onions new bed
Potting up my seeds
Beets went straight in the ground and we are just now starting to see some lovely seedlings coming up
All our seedlings have come up and are looking lovely so pleased
Clearing our fruit bushes ready to mulch in march and we put in a little path made from found bits a bobs from the rubble pile
chickens enjoying there freedom and the warmer weather
Our baby rhubarb settling into its new bed after we moved it in the winter, it was growing in the middle of the path so he has now its own lovely bed.
Before we painted it this is a little bird house we put together. we want to encourage as much wildlife as possible to the plot i hope to have a pond and a little hedgehog house to.
Thats all for today but i will do some more updates when its in full bloom of summer or sooner but if you have any questions please do let us know and we will love to reply either here or on our Instagram @sarahandthebearadventures
