Some of you might remember when I first got my lottie on 8th October 2007 what a state it was in....Well it's been 6 months, 1 week, 3 days and I thought it was time I took some update pictures. You can see many of my "Before Pics" on my Blog (Link at the bottom).

wow Lauren that is amazing so much work in such a short time totally awesome, did you move into the shed on the site? ;D
your plot is wonderful, and your nets have given me an idea for my garden with the 4 posts would keep the cabbage whites and the cats off my garden lol 8)
it looked great when you got it but now it's a model plot, full of the promise of some brilliant fruit and veggies, looking forward to seeing it with crops in ;D

Ha ha, I've had 3 plot holders look inside my Summerhouse ;) to check to see if I have a bed in there as I always seem to be there (they say) ;D.. No bed yet, but who knows, now the heavy work is all done I might be able to sit back and watch everyone one else work while I recline on my sun lounger on my sea view deck ;D ;D ;D
wow, well done you, that's amazing!
blimey lauren where do youkeep the hoover? its tidier than my actual house. not a weed in sight. how on earth do you manage to keep it so pristene? its wonderful and youhave a view to die for . :D
All the rocks around my rock garden I dug up from IN the ground. I didn't know where to put them until I came to tidy up the back and thought I would add some flowers.

Oh that's my pottery Maple Leaf I "Planted" in amongst the flowers ;D

If you want some of those balls for the tops, I can send you some Debs, I have a few left over. I just cut a little cros in the top and slip them over the poles....Then tie the nets around the pole and the ball too.

Hi Lauren your lottie looks awesome. Hope mine can look half as good in 6 months time.
I forgot to take before photos ::) so i will have to make sure I take some from now on.
Where did you get the balls from you are using with the netting? Are they laundry balls?
Thanks

They came in a pack and they really are for a kids ball pit thingie. When you have several of them they look quite pretty while protecting your face and eyes etc. 8)
