oo...so when did you get your plots?? If there's an apple tree I'll be well chuffed :) always wanted to be able to pick me own apples. Just shows how excited i was today...I never noticed an apple tree

I am so pleased I am not the only one getting so excited about sheds and water butts and I was pleased to see rhubarb in my plot aswell. I've tried growing that at home with no luck.
I have two apple trees in my garden at home a bramley and a Scrumptious. My plot is not that big so I won't plant any trees on it unless I can figure out how to do cordons.
Have a great time tomorrow, will be thinking of you, I'lkl be up on my plot digging weeds tomorrow. I think its supposed to be dry but windy, I'm happy with that ;D

Im sure the apple tree is on your plot. I got my plots in september last year but only starting digging recently cause of the weather, I really need to sort it out cause spring is upon us. Hello Gardening gal sorry I mean to say that tons of message back. I am so excited about growing my own, but I hate this weather with all the mud, I think once my raised beds are in on the second plot then I will be happy. I love going down there, but I have to walk there and back with two boys and I feel like a nutter walking home full of mud lol but tomorrow I won't care cause I am so bored at home andI wan to get stuck in

feel free to come and weed mine aswell, mind you at least I have someone to talk to tomorrow, there is another lady further down the lottie but I don't want to just walk up to her and talk, I will have the nice flask of coffe tomorrow and my weed material and starting planning my beds, and me and fluffnco will be sorting out the plots cause the wonderful council have not labeled them correctly so counting in steps it will be

no probs, looking foward to meeting you tomorrow at least hatton close it getting busy now, when I first joined it was just me, then a gentleman and his young son came to plot 2, and a lady at the far end came afterwards. I love it there, its open and relaxing, and when summer comes and hopefully I have a shed by then I can put a table and chairs out and spend the day there

Fluffnco · « **Reply #53 on:** February 29, 2008, 19:52:08 »

yep...that's what we are looking forward to although the OH is trying to wiggle out of all but the tending to the chillies at the minute ::) will have to sort him out asap ;)....will build a makeshift BBQ and have sweetcorn fresh from the plant along with other things after a hard days work ;)) or just sit n have a natter with fellow plot owners ;) watch the weeds grow or something like that :D

I think summer will be fab down there :)

Hi guys have you got your wellies on yet? have you made flask of tea? ;D
We are going to the garden centre first to get some small forks and trowels for the kids. Last night we picked up a big barrel to use as a water butt so we need to get the fixings for that aswell. Don't you just love Freecycle
Have a great day don't work too hard.

The wind took half the recycling boxes down the road last night. I usually like listening to the wind when I'm in bed but it was a bit too gusty last night. Thankfully everything is intact in the garden I just hope the Lottie hasn't blown away ;D
