Allotment haiku #1

An old allotment
awaiting transformation.
Next year, fruit and veg.

  I’m so excited about this allotment. My son and I are getting carried away in our minds about some of the exotic things we want to plant, but my husband is trying to keep us “earthed” initially, in the land of potatoes, carrots, and cabbages.

  I must write another allotment haiku soon, as the allotment is now cleared and dug over, and has yielded some amazing hidden gems (edible gems, of course, rather than anything for which it would be worth claiming mining rights) 😉
