Wonderful news! I'm all excited on your behalf. What have you got in store for it - more fab pumpkins and barrowloads of onions and shallots, or something completely different?

^^ dunno, sorry, both pictures hosted on photobucket next to each other.

How big is your plot Lisa?  and how do you  intend to tackle it?  I sprayed mine (glyphosate) then dug starting at the front.... it worked but I couldn't sleep at night because my arms kept going numb.

And I still need to buy tonnes more soil improver.

But I love my bit of the planet.
