Brilliant news!

When do you take over?  Now or in winter?

Good luck with it!

we took over the first half in April ( wish i took some photos ). we completely cleared it and its now full of various veg etc. the other half was still being used by previous owner as he had already planted his early spuds. but he has moved house and been given another plot in his new area. he has started digging up half of them and we were waiting for confirmation from the council that we could have it. he was a lovely guy but a bit of a hoarder and never threw anything away, well in a bin  ;D. so alot of clearing to do again but it will be worth it.

Well Done! I remember when we got our second plot we'd been waiting and watching for months as the plot next to ours never really got going, I kept phoning the council to make sure our name was still against it.When  we got the call i did feel a bit like a bodysnatcher but as i'd never met the plotholder in question it wasn't too bad. Keep posting to let us all know how you're progressing :)
