A thank you and some inspiration for newbies...

I've had loads of help and tips, not to mention cheerleading from people on this site since I got my lottie back last year. So I just thought I'd put a quick update on here, hopefully it will inspire anyone who's looked at their lottie and thought OMG I'll never get it done, you will, I did.........
From this
To this
And a big thanks to everyone who's helped (and told me off for being impatient!!!) ;D

I'm looking forward now to about 2 months time, when there's actually something other than dock growing up! Thank you for all your kind comments, and thank you all again for all the advice and tips I've had since joining this site. :D

Um, since the middle of August I think. Much strimming went on for months on end! My mate Ms P gave me a hand with the paths, because she's far more particular than I am, otherwise they'd have ended up v wonky with bits missing where I've thrown temper tantrums rofl. ;D

2012 - Snow in February, non-stop rain till July. Blight and rot are rife. Thieving voles cause strife. But first runner beans and lots of greens. Follow an English allotment in urban France:
