I took over an allotment in April and am next to the neatest plot on the site. Help!! I hope to heaven there's no judging!

 (My potatoes are higher though :P)

 ;D ;D ;D Very well done, its nice to get a prize when you weren't aware of the competition initially. Your other plot will soon look as good as the first one ;)
I was born with nothing and have most of it left.

Congratulations, well done!

I won the 'Best Newcomers' prize the first year I had a plot and I also had no idea the competition existed.  One of the Miserable Old Blokes came afterwards and told me (in other words) that it was a fluke and I shouldn't expect to ever win anything again.  I won Best Plot the following year.

It's been downhill ever since. ::)

Well done Gavin.   ;D

I have just been looking through the photos on your blog and have been amazed at how much you have done in such a short time.  You must be really pleased.

There are plenty of things that you have done that have given me some ideas for my own vegetable garden (I don't have an allotment, just a very large garden).

Did you use the wood from pallets to line your path and if so, where do you get the pallets from?

Brilliant, I am speechless with admiration. Lovely plot.  You must really enjoy doing it, as can see from your enthusiasm on your blog.
