it's ok, spudsmummy, if I click on the pic, it goes bigger  ;D
you've done lots on there, looking forward to seeing it full of crops  :)

[Sparkly]

Well done. Looking good so far.  ;D

[archiesdad]

looks like you have done lots of hard work there! It'l be worthwhile once you start eating what you've grown yourself.

[saddad]

Great start, keep it up... the big break is when the spuds go in and you realise there still isn't enough space...  ;D

Great work so far :)

What have you got planned next?

i have still got to dig some more for the potatoes. i have got some beans, peas and oinions to go in.

the next area i am going to try and sort out is the far end where there is a tree (no idea what it is). i am planing that area to be for fruit. posably rhubarb and some kind of berry, anyone got any ideas?

thanks Paula

fruit bushes in Lidl at the mo, if there is one near, may be better getting there quickly, one of the plotholders got 3 blackcurrant, 3 gooseberry, 6 raspberries for less than 10.00  ;D

[spudsmummy]

how much room do they need? i have no idea of fruit  :(
i dont want to grow to much of it as i dont want to waste it iykwim,  :-\

[manicscousers]

they come in bags of 3, we do our blackcurrants in a 3' square, same with gooseberries, raspberries in a line, about 4' between rows and 1' between canes, I think they're summer ones so would need some wire to support them (the rasps)  :)
waxte? you'll be lucky to get any home, once you've tasted it  ;D
