Its been hard work but the feeling of satisfaction is unbelievable.
Gosh you really are on a steep slope! Good luck!
Bloody well done, its looking great :D
Happy growing Rainbow ;)
Looks good preparation of the ground there. Time well spent for next years crop.
:o
Wow! What a great job. Plot looks really good, well done you!
Thanks Katynewbie but unfortunately I cant take much credit for the hard work as the OH has done most of the hard work (and will I ever hear the last of it? I dont think so!!!!!!!!) I have spent most of the day trying to stop the 2year old running riot over nextdoors plot with his mini tools.
One piece of excellent advice I got from A4A was to use a mattock to clear the ground and god has it made a difference. It takes half the time of a spade and fork!

That looks amazing! If i can get my plot looking half that good I'll be over the moon. Agree with you about the mattock, even I can use one with decent results ::)
Well done was in the same position myself last year, are you digging out tiers? with it being on a slope :)
The terraces were there already - not very obvious from the original photos - but we have sharpened them up as they were slopes and as it is only 4.5m x 12.5m approx we need as much room as possible.
