Title: Deb P's plot, 2006-2009 slideshow
Post by: Deb P on January 06, 2010, 08:19:12
Thought I'd have a go at a slideshow, apologies if it's a bit basic or if you've seen some of these shots before. I actually don't have many 2009 pics I've discovered, so it is a bit heavy on the development over the first two years. I will endeavor to take more pics this year!

Just click on the picture to view....

Your plot's just great, Deb! Fantastic to have the photographic record of all you've done.

What a fantastic transformation! 
I take photos of our plots before new plotholders take them on so we will have a 'before' and 'after' record but not many of the 'afters' are as good as yours!

Omg I've got garden envy now!!!  ;D

What a lovely garden - you've worked so hard and it's very creative too. I like the crossed canes with tomatoes on and things like that. Not to mention the incredible shed of course!

Squash64 you sound like such a nice allotment organiser. I wish our site was like that.

I think it really helps to keep you going to have a visual record. I've been taking photos of all the plots on the site for the past two years as part of our plot assessments, and it it lovely to see transformations over time. Of course, some also deteriorate!  ::);D

You have done brilliantly.  Lovely log cabin.  I really must get some raised beds, they make the whole looks so much more organised.

Excellent Deb... now you've mastered that you can do a "visual tour" for our website... www.littleoverlaneallotments.org  (which badly needs updating  :-[ )

Absolutely Fabulous!!! If anyone has the chance to go to the open days that Saddad and Debs allotment site has you MUST go! This plot is fantastic and so are Saddads (3 or 4?) plots.

That's really nice of you, thank you. :)

Your site could be like ours - if there is a committee, maybe you should join it!

I don't know whether anyone might like to see the post I wrote on my blog about Deb P's allotment last year - http://fennelandfern.co.uk/2009/05/11/real-gardens-the-stylish-allotment/
(http://fennelandfern.co.uk/2009/05/11/real-gardens-the-stylish-allotment/)

You have got the most amazing plot - it is beautiful and you seem to grow the most incredible amount of stuff. It was a total pleasure featuring you Deb and was one of my favourite things I wrote about last year. Looking forward to being inspired again this year!
