I have finally cleared all the ground finished my raised beds and made a path and have a potting shed. I am so excited about it. I looked up at it last night as I cleared away and thought it actually looked like an allotment. The old boy next door even gave me a smile which was a new one on me... he also told me about how he caught a rat! All I have to do now is get some seeds in!lol feel a bit nervous as I now think the easy part was digging... anyone can do that Ive never planted anything in my life.
Well done, hope you get lots of enjoyment from your allotment.
Well done - in time for the planting season too :)
PS but we do expect photos because we're a nosy bunch take a polite interest in others' allotments
wow i have had an allotment for 2 years and i have not managed that yet!!
Hi barnowl Im so proud of it Im defn going to take photos. when I told the missus im going to take some pics she gave me one of her looks... I dont think she has caught the bug yet but Im sure she will. It was supposed to be a family project but due to the weather its only been me... I think it might stay that way but I absolutly love it I never knew how good it was to be outside getting it all together. I am a bit worried about planting the seeds though.Cheers
Mine is at the end of our garden.. the shed was run down but already there and its not as big as some of the ones I have seen on here but still Im well proud of it and being a townie who has moved out into the sticks where the next door neighbour has been watching me with an amused eye I feel pretty chuffed. I have spent nerly all of March doing it pretty full time as I had loads of annual leave from work. personally Ive found like everything Ive every had a go at if I put the graft in I get the results
you'll love it when the seeds show their heads above ground ;D
one piece of advice I was given..plants want to grow..you just have to help them do it :)
Thanks for that manics I will defn take that advice on. I want to say thanks for all your advice it really did help me out when I was digging over and popping in for a cuppa reading the posts. I will get out there and start planting. Sad thing is Im back to work full time this week but now the nights are lighter I can have go. ;)
