I would like a garden big enough to grow all the stuff I now grow at the allotment plus the flower garden i have at home so I can pop out and work in it when ever i have some free time and don't have to worry anymore about missing time at the allotment while I wait home for someone's delivery to arrive etc  I'd also like my SI joint dysfunction to magically go away forever.

A couple of tons of topsoil and a quantity of manure............. failing that a set of those handsome post things with line between them so you can get straight rows (I've been using two bits of old bamboo and whatever string I can find for years)

Talking about those wooden paper pot makers, does anyone know exactly what they look like?  Surely it must be possible to make one yourself without a great deal of effort, but they never show you the whole thing in the adverts.

We were recently allocated an allotment & while watching GW Christmas special Carol was in her garden with a lovely wooden trug. I thought to myself I would love one of those. Guess what our lovely eldest daughter bought for us + some slate markers & a journal. We are so lucky. Oh & a friend gave us a GC gift voucher.
