Title: Just a wee update on how my plot is looking (see pics)

Well you all know me.........I have extended the plot to the whole of the bottom section of my garden.  Its looking quite big now.

Various seeds, sets and seed potatoes have been bought and I have quite a collection.

Well hope you like the images.

Isn't it funny how similar we gardening types are!!  I have got the same M & S tin which used to have biscuits in for seeds!!

Garden looks great - you have worked pretty hard to make it - the fun will now be to plant it up and harvest all your hard work!

Good luck with baby also!

I only bought two tins of sweets  ::) so I could have the tins for my lottie seeds.
Looking good Chris. Has given me ideas for when I get my *new* greenhouse up any time soon.
Thanks for sharing the pics.
Hope everything goes well with the baby and you don't have to wait too much longer  :)

Isn't it amazing how exciting a plot of land can be!? All that potential. Looking at yours gets me anxious to
get out of the tropics and head home to winter just to get started even if it is under ice.
How some folks can only see growing grass is a mystery.
And you have a baby coming
also!  Your cup runneth over!! We'll need to see a pix of baby in potato patch.

I'm sooooo jealous.  My little veg plot is about half the size of your original 2006 one.   so so jealous.  If I had my own way I'd take up every bit of space in the garden.
