In the beginning…

I recently received my official permit from the City of Toronto for a plot at the Silverthorne allotment garden. I haven’t started gardening there, but I have gathered some pictures and measurements. The allotment is about 24′ X 33′, which gives me almost 800 square feet to work with.

The plan for the allotment is coming together; I’ve decided what types of plants I want, and where they should go, but I’m leaving the specific varieties up in the air for now. I’ve found that making a garden plan too specific requires too much time, and isn’t always feasible when you don’t know what specific varieties will be available at the garden centre.
