Gosh Doris that's an ALLOTMENT?!

thoght it couldnt possibly be - a garden maybe.  Good luck to you.  And well done for what youve got done.

Pity i dont live near to you, i could come and help with the next bit.  Love clearing overgrown sites, so satisfying.

That takes the biscuit!!!

Thanks you lot! The crockery may become pathways as per Eric's idea!! The main part of my lottie that I have been working for a few years now is flat.I just had to ask who the brambles belonged to didn't I !! So step terrace gardening for me  ;D
Teresa, i think that the previous tenant hated his wifes crockery and piece by piece took it up his lottie n smashed it!! i am now a dab hand with a grappling hook!! Size 8, cor that would be nice!!! (might post a real piccie of me then! ;D thinking of facing the wood with some lovely mosaics! That would make em all talk on the site ;D ;D ;D
Richard, wish you did live nearby, then you could have a go with my swap and hooker!!  ;)(How many of you were given a hooker for Christmas!)
Gardener....tried making tea in the crockery but it all fell through! Found a suede glove,an old rake, a jam jar and part of a chair today ;D Oh and about 5 plastic bags >:(

Wow Doris.  Excellent!  You certainly don't mind hard work huh!  So, I figure growing up on terraces like that, faster drained soil and warmer soil.  What are your planting plans?

Nice one Doris, looks quite similar to mine so gives me faith that I will eventually get there...

Don't have a digi cam but did take some old fashioned photos today so when me films finished I'll post them and you can gloat that you've got past the jungle stage I'm at into lovely working allotment land...

congratulations!
