I'm very excited. Don't have to figure out how to get sweetcorn into the garden now. Along with everything else I've been stockpiling on the off chance ;)

I'm using my incredible psychic powers and predicting I'll be doing a lot of digging over the next few weeks...

Congratulations.

It doesnt sound much when you say 5 rods  ;D but it will seem like a football field once you start digging. Remember to take your time.

I have two suggestions:

Invest in large quantities of porage outs for breakfast, and large quantities of Radox for afterwards.

Good luck.
The impossible is just a journey away ...

Nah, unfortunately, he's already given it away, although it's still sitting in it's box at the back of the stage.

You never know, I might already have a shed.

Congratulations on your new plot!  I only got my plot a few weeks ago so I know the feeling well!  I am still in the weeding stage and am convinced some days that the weeds are winning, but I am enjoying it even more than I thought I would.  My advice would be if you drink tea, then make sure you have a flask to take some with you!

Have fun and please post pics!

Congratulations and goodluck.

I can remember what I was like last year, when I got my lottie.  Like a kid let loose in a sweet shop.

Enjoy it.  It;s worth all the hard work.

Let us know how you get on
