that looks like lots of fun,the youngsters who come to our plots love us to have a bonfire, don't know what it is with kids and fire ;D
amazing difference :)

You've done a brilliant job there- well done! Wish I had some willing helpers like yours- for some reason my kids (15.19 and 21) aren't at all keen! :D

Amazing progress, well done all of you! Reminds me of our plot when we took it on 10 years ago but it took us best part of a year to get it all cleared. Hope you get as much fun out of it as I do, and once you start to reap rewards the excitement is fantastic. Great to see the kids getting stuck in too.

TUT TUT TUT child labour has been outlawed in this country awhile now ;). well done on your progress, my 8yr old loves to help in the vege garden too and has her own bed as well.

Just under half the plot was taken up by a rubbish tip(left of the 2nd picture), as you can see above, there is not much of it left.
