So Hannah have the money to update her wardrobe with the same boring stuff from zara but doesn’t have for home fixes
It doesn’t even look that bad, most of what is there is probably one year’s growth that needs clearing. Two fit healthy adults without proper jobs to go to should be able to have most of it cut down in a couple of days. Then dig out any brambles and tough weeds, put a thick layer of cardboard weighted with bricks down to stop new weeds coming through and late winter/early spring dig it all in. It’s really hard work to begin with but that’s what allotments are.Rolling my eyes at the allotment stories. Allotments are HARD work, and you don’t just get given a ready made one what the heck were they expecting. Have they even done their research? That’s part of the enjoyment for some people, doing it up and having the layout you want and seeing all the hard work come to life.
I give it one season, if that. No way will they be there all spring and summer long watering and weeding. It definitely not all sunshine, wicker baskets and paper grocery bags.
Bet they were expecting a perfect patch of dirt with rows already hoed in for planting in the spring. No doubt they will do no research then moan about only getting 3 beans but 50 courgettes if they get that far!Rolling my eyes at the allotment stories.

I agree. The one I had was far worse than that when I took it on. Dumping rubbish on plots, although wrong, seems to be a common occurrence sadly and the council will often leave clearing it to the new tenant.

Hannah just wants to waft about barefoot in a floaty cheesecloth smock and wide brimmed straw hat, with her artisan style rustic trug, picking red but not quite perfect tomatoes to go with her smashed avocado on sourdough toast, while Stef twats about pretending to be manly with top of the range garden tools he doesn’t have a clue how to use.I agree.

Glad to help xI’m m
I’m having tit day & you’re cheered me right up!!
I don’t get taking an allotment when the priority is moving abroad next year. Plus they have a fairly decent size garden why not start growing there?
And buying a desk (maybe an ad?), I thought they were moving why do they keep acquiring stuff?!
I didn't watch Stef's second IG story ........what a pair of lazy, entitled gits.......His long standing nemesis Jonathan Joly has about 2 acres of garden and he manages that on his ownDon't forget this is the pair, with two small kids, who put a tree bang slap in the middle of a smallish and (I believe) artificial lawn. Lots of people said it's going to be annoying when the kids are older and want that space to play in.
I see from their update they've had good suggestions of just putting carpet down to suppress weeds but even that is too much work for Steff. Can't be bothered to transport it. Erm, how did he think he was going to get compost, tools etc up there? Did he think it would grow itself? Yes, so true, whoever said about Hannah wafting about in a linen dress with a trug picking her organic veg. It's so obvious that's what she pictured.
Hopefully it looks like they are going to decline this one (maybe give up entirely I hope).
