Ahhh.....its lovely Lauren. Where some of your raised beds in already?
Lovely summer house ;D
what did you use to raise your beds??
btw it looks fab!!
Only the green wonky ones. They will be replaced soon as they are quite rotten ::)
I used decking boards for the raised beds :)
It is a real credit to you hun....well done ;)
Looks great.Will look even better in full bloom.Petera
that's looks fantastic - are you sure you are not sleeping there as well ;)
The soil looks great, you should get some brilliant crops next year.
Very nice indeed. Posh shed too ;)
I just love my summer house. I'm sure I will enjoy it even more next *Summer* when I can sit in a chair on my deck and admire all my lovely veg growing ;D. I still cannot believe I was lucky enough to get this (half)allotment. Makes all the hard work so worthwhile :)
Lauren
I'd be pleased if I could get my allotment to look like the first picture...
You're going great guns Lauren, keep it up..
;D
Looking great Lauren, can't wait for the invite to your first summer barbie on site. :P ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
You are all very welcome to come to a Lottie BBQ ANYTIME you are in Devon. So *Come On Down* next year when I hope to have something growing to cook. ;D
Lauren
oh, you've done it now, lauren, that's nearly 6,000 burgers or veggie burgers, with a view like that, you'll get lots of visitors
Imagine how many Sweetcorn cobs you will have to grow. :P :P :P :P :P ;D ;D ;D
It looks wonderful - what a lot of hard work! Looking forward to seeing photos next year of it all full of delicious vegetables!
Wow, wow, wow! It looks great, I fell in love with your plot when you posted pics last time and now it looks even better! Well done you, you have obviously worked hard.
Did you say the summerhouse was already there when you took over the plot? If so you are a very lucky person. Keep posting updates it's great to see others progress. ;D
Yes Glosterwomble, the summer house and the deck were already there. Apparently the previous lottie owner spent over £1,000. :o They are both only two years old.
lauren have you actually been home since you got this lottie doesnt look like you have!! ;D it looks fab be careful i may take you up on the bbq thing after all you know how close i am :-*
Well I usually arrive anytime between 7:30 and 8:00am and leave about 3:00pm four days a week. Well I take Tuesdays off for retail therapy 8)
I hope somebody does take me up on the BBQ or I'll have to *Pig Out* alone. ;D And that won't be fun ::)
Woo hoo, almost time for planting. Only onions and garlic. Well exciting for me anyway. ;D
With a summer house and a view like that what is there to go home for???
;D
I know...lol...My lottie neighbour thinks I live in the summer house. I told him, "No, not until the summer" ;D
