Santa came early for me

[Roy Bham UK]

Well all the waiting has ended; I am now the proud holder of plot 32 the gate key was handed over this morning.
     Yippee! What am I waiting for?
What do I do now?? Where do I start? Can I ask away on here until my feet touch the ground?
What I thought was either get the slabs down erect the shed? Or rip out the weeds that the rotovator has shredded?
What do you think? I have a fair amount of old pond liner, should I plonk that on now? question questions questions
Here’s a picky of the plot next to the water supply, its not very big, although maybe enough for me.

What a wonderful looking plot Roy neither wonder you're excited!!!!  
I'd cover as much of it with your plastic as you can for the time being until you decide what you want to do with it.
Really, really pleased for you.

Wow roy, that's great ........congratulations on your plot from Plottie
There's lots you can be doing ....how about marking out your beds and edging them with wood (if that's your plan), throwing some muck on to enrich the soil over the winter, covering them as Eileen suggested,putting up fencing, planning what you want to grow next spring, perusing the seed catalogues, oh the list could go on and on.......
Anyway ENJOY and let us know how you get on

Thanks for the good wishes Guys, I'm off out today to buy some timber to make some beds (as suggested ) 12ft x 4ft seem ok? the following weekend off to dismantle an old shed and rebuild on the lottie. Nip down to our local stables and see if they will off load some manure.
I haven't a seed to sow yet, I noticed my local B&Q are selling multi packs of 12 different vegies, works out at 43p per pack anyone used them?
I'll shut up now and do some physical, Bye 4 now.

Thanks again Girls for the kind words, I spent 4 hours up the lottie Saturday morning 3 of them spent idle chatting to the only other allotmenteer there that day, you can see who did all the work, just look at Harvey’s feet, managed to get my old pond liners down and string around my plot, it measures only 22 x 7mtrs Hope we get a reduction for the short fall.
Going back up there in a while to see if I can find someone else to idle chat to.

Congratulations Roy, just seen this thread. Your plot is a similar size to mine (5m x 30m), it's amazing how quickly you run out of space so plan carefully where you will put everything.  

[Moggle]

Well done Roy, I am so pleased for you 

Lucky you, getting to have a shed to 

Good luck with all the digging etc, hope the weather in Brum is kind and you can get loads of work done in the next few weeks.
