Here is our site, in Norwich

Looking through the little fence I made out of a couple of old pallets - you can see, just about, the Blackcurrent bush, broad beans, globe artichokes and jerusalem artichokes...

we put in a row of cornflowers, which we think are fantastic!

The line of beetroot that survived a big fat pigeon onslaught!

If you want to see a few more pics of the plot, although i am pretty sure you have had enough by now, then go here:

Cheers!
Looks AbFabulous ;D You both have done a great job, ;)
love the landscape view too. :)
How big is your Lottie?
Thanks Roy!
I think our plot is 250m2 - a chain by a rod, apparently.
Seems much bigger now that we have to weed everything :)!
super pictures. and isn't it so rewarding eating your own produce :)
i would be very interested in some of these piccies as desktop pictures (the blackcurrant one or the marigold, for instance). have you kept the original digiphoto?
i hope my cornflowers turn out as well as yours - but they currently have to fight for light between my parsnips :-\

Just simply lovely! Excellent photos!
fab ;D~all looks good enough to eat :)
Great job :) :) :) Well done and good for you :) :) :) Nice to see the faces behind the story too!
Svea,
regarding your question, yes I do still have the originals, and would be more than happy to pass them on to you if you want to use them as a desktop image - I would feel quite flattered infact!
I am member of a website called www.flickr.com and all my photo's are stored on it. I believe, if you go to our little section of the website, you can download the larger images. Try this link for me and let me know if it works or not.
Cheers,
Ben

cool. thanks ben
Hi guys,
Fantastic pics Ben. The allotment looks great. I'm very jealous of the blackcurrants. Glad the beetroot survived. Hope we get to sample some of the produce soon.
