Many congratulations! That looks so good (especially like the leeks 8)), and the soil looks brilliant. The cold frame, etc. and that storage bin...were they already there? And, btw...any idea who had it previously and why they gave it up? It seems to have been so well cultivated.

This is such a lovely new year's present for you and I'm sure you'll have a great year with it. Look in the Swap Shop for spare seeds when you're ready, why don't you?

See you around,

kind regards,

and the plot ( the one in the picture ) is not mine! after all! mine is Plot 40 B she said that she got them mixed up!

hi there
it is a shame all the leeks are not yours but u could be suprised what is lurking under the grass, when i got my plot i thought it was mainly grass but there where some veg growing in it all, lol
plus u can plan the plot to the way u want it and take one bit at a time.
i hope it goes well for you
