Title: My plot with pic that works I hope
Post by: DarkSkies on March 17, 2004, 08:52:52
I shall try again following the nice instructions...

Big Red x :o

Crossed fingers.

In November it was overgrown like the plot next but I have nearly done half now.  It finishes by the glass.  Even have a small compost heap made.
Amazing how much satisfaction it brings.  :)

Hi DS. Like quite a few others on here I used HPPHOTOS without any problem. Have you tried that?

Sadly I do not have an internet connection at home and my work PC will not allow me to upload photos to hppics.  I know not having a connection at home seems so "old fashioned :) " but I like it that way.  I spend my days sorting equity trading software so the idea of going home and browsing is incredibly unappealing.  That for work hours  ::) .

It looks like the link works again, but only until accessed x number of times, then yahoo block it.  I suppose they think it is being used for dubious means.

Cheers for the comments BTW, I do admit to having a shed load of FYM but nobody else seemed to want more and they were building a car park where the pile was so it had to go.  It will go in the undeveloped part when dug.  And yes my plot was as overgrown and wrecked as the one just in shot on the right.  I just wish now I had taken an at the start shot.

For those just starting out, the three beds are 14 foot wide and each about 6 foot wide, I worked on them most weekends since I took the plot in November.  Slowly its coming on.  I do however look forward to the day the weeding takes over from the digging.  Hand and fork is great but takes forever.  However daunting it may look, once the beds start to take shape the satisfaction keeps you going.

I just look at everyone elses plots and hope oneday mine will look as good.
