Today i actually fixed the hasp and staple on the doors .

As a back plate behind the doors i used some of that multi holed trunking they use to run cables overhead,

So now the spade and the fork etc is out of the car, And its got a lock

Wow - your plot looks HUGE!

Your shed looks splendid - I am dead envious - I have got a tiny "sentry box" one but it keeps falling over as I haven't put it up properly yet!

Nice location though!

I'm green with envy! You could fit three of my plot  into there , and that's just the bit I can see.

Good luck for the coming year. :)

Thankyou all


At the top  of my plot just in front of the shed theres a ?spring that
runs when it rains  . not really a prob i was going to sink a bath in the ground and catch the water ,
,Anyway to the point the council are going to dig a sump on the plot next to mine as its waterlogged then run a pipe from my spring into it as a soakaway, The nice gent who set me up with the plot offered me another but ive said no  thankyou
So the plot next door will now be a half plot and ive allready put my two pennerth in towards using it.

I think its just the right size for a fruit cage, anyway ill take some pics of the job and post them.

ps

if you think the sheds good wait till i get my greenhouse out of my head and into reality.

Hey - Aren't you lucky - are you going to or able to use the springwater for Watercress??

Fabulous - it grows like a weed when it is established.  I am very envious.

It is sooooooo good for you!

Best wishes

The work goes on
The young un and  i have been humping "horse poo" as he calls it for a week ,

We got the first two beds dug over and found very old land drains in the second bed ,cleaned them out replaced a few stones  and carried on ,(there two spade lenths down) So they shouldnt be a problem ,weve covered the beds in afore mentioned poo, when the young uns brain suddenly went into gear "Im not eating anything grown in that " lol where do you go from there ?
