Yes, a bit of stage fright is not surprising, but soon you will be relishing every back-aching minute of it !
Congratulations ...

Conzla - I think that should be just "get a fork and spade"!!

What a lovely new year pressie! ;D
Take a good look around at all the other plots, from them you can get a good steer on what grows well etc! Also the senior chaps can give you an idea as to when to get things into the ground!!
Have lots of fun, take it easy, and we will talk soon I'm sure!

I find it so sad you all have to wait so long for a plot, there is well over half our site completely unused, and half of that is just grassed over!

I was surprised to get it as when I looked around the other week most of them seemed to be used. I guess in the winter they all look a bit straggly so maybe I just couldn't tell. Anyway it's not an massive site but he said that I was the tenth person on the list and he had at least 10 half plots so I was certainly missing something!! It will be nice to have so many new people starting at once I think - I won't feel so much 'on show'!
Hubbie thinks I am mad and is worried it will be too much work. I'd hoped he would join me as we really need something to do together... hopefully when he sees me enjoying it he will come round!
Dibber - I hope you get your good news call soon. :)

Wowzy Amanda that feeling is just sooooooooooooo fab isn't it, and actually much more appreciated when you wern't expecting it :)
My OH wasn't too keen to start with, worried it would be too much work...............................think he's probably been on site more than me so far, been making a path and putting shed up and now building coldframe ::)
Enjoy ;D
Dibbs just wait til you get the phonecall ........................................... you'll be partying on the moon not Buck House!!!!!!! ;D

congratulations - when you get taken round, think about the nearest water tank, avoiding being on the north side of any large trees and a slight southward facing slope helps the ground warm up a little quicker in the spring.

Congratulations Amanda, that's fantastic news!!!
I'm new too, got my half plot in November. I've only dug 3 square meters so far. The soil is just too sticky!
But I have started a GI-NORMOUS compost heap containing amongst other things plenty of guinea pig poo. I've also made a rather fancy plot marker (number 87) but haven't planted it yet. Must organise a little ceremony in the spring.

Thanks all for your best wishes :)
The worm thing comes from a horrid little boy in my childhood, who also happened to be my best friend(!) who once emptied his bucket of wiggly worms all over me! I think we were about 6 but after that he loved chasing me with them dangling from his fingers -Ewwww. I don't actually like anything without legs - not too bad with snakes but also years of finding my dad's fishing bait in the fridge scarred me for life! Anyway I am going to try very hard not to squeal each and every time I find something in the soil or crawling through carrots :-\
