I've had loads of help and tips, not to mention cheerleading from people on this site since I got my lottie back last year. So I just thought I'd put a quick update on here, hopefully it will inspire anyone who's looked at their lottie and thought OMG I'll never get it done, you will, I did.........

And a big thanks to everyone who's helped (and told me off for being impatient!!!) ;D
wow, posie..looks like you've got it sorted, lots of hard work but think of the veggies and fruit :P :P ;D
Great job... can you come down and show a couple of lazy plotholders what can be achieved!!
;D
Handy hint........it's much easier to dig when someone's REALLY annoyed you lol - I did some of my best work after an altercation with my local council rofl!!! ;D Send em up Saddad and I'll work em into the ground :D :D
OH is a mean digger when she is annoyed... marvellous for bean trenches etc... but I'm not going near her in that mood and carrying a spade!!
;D
Wow posie what a star you are - that plot looks amazing ;D
Well done you xx
As said - an inspiration!
Well done you ;D ;D

Top banana
Rofl - I haven't heard that one in years!!! ;D ;D ;D
Cor thats looks great! How long has it taken you?
Um, since the middle of August I think. Much strimming went on for months on end! My mate Ms P gave me a hand with the paths, because she's far more particular than I am, otherwise they'd have ended up v wonky with bits missing where I've thrown temper tantrums rofl. ;D
And now you can make it all green again- but your choice if plant this time! ;)
Well done you - I do hope you have a v smug grin plastered over your face, very well deserved, I'm hoping the garden pixies will have started on mine when I get down there in an hour!
erk, wish mine looked like that - hmm maybe it does if I take a long shot of it, no zoom, ha ha
well done, hope you get loads of yummy stuff out of it.
hi all
Great Site have learnt a lot from this site. Going in to my fourth year with my allotment. On this site l have only seen plots on the level but mine is on a hill but it is still very enjoyable here in North Wales. When l took my plot on there was a lot of bind weed and brambles l am still trying to deal with the bindweed but having seen that plot it encourages me that l can get on top of it and l hope that my plot will look as good as that this year
l have been trying to put a pic of my allotment but l do not know how to do it can anyone help?

A great achievement! But you forgot one picture.
Let's see your muscles from all that digging!
