here i am almost a year into my lottie its gone from 8 foot high 8th of an acre jungle to an almost respectable lottie ive built four sheds two for me and two for my hens the hens got the best deal a ten by five foot lean to green house a cheap poly green house
two rotovators that wont start (yet)
my potatoes where a disaster hardly any spuds for me the slugs ate most of them
my toms got blight,my carrots all grew deformed the earwigs got most of my sweetcorn
my cabbage got clubroot but not my cauli the caterpillars ate them
the birds ate most my peas as they had finished my strawberries by then the peppers i grew are to hot to eat and ye guess wot i got loads of them
ive been burgled twice but no damage and nowt missing really but i don't lock owt up any how and leave my tools all over the place
i bought some maran chicks from auction and now have about 12 roosters (roasters come xmas) and about as many pullets some of my bovan hens have an infection and ive lost a few over the last couple of months but treating em now
so all in all not a really good year
but do i care nope its the best thing ive ever done in getting my plot i still go home smiling every night cant wait till tomorrow to get back down there
There;s always next year .............. :) It won't always be dark at six (quote from my ma)
Can't get much worse can it :)
