Liza, what can I say, you have increased my morale 10 fold. You and your family have worked wonders with that (as you called it) bomb site. :o
It looks like you have worked and used every inch of land, what a marvelous job, 8)  your family must be very proud of you, I am very impressed and I loved your Allotment Diary and will keep visiting for more ideas and tips, ;) well done. ;D ;D ;D

Fantastic photos Lisa  ;D  Love what you have done to your patch.  Do you have a garden at home too??

Hi Liza!

Lovely to see how all your hard work has paid off.  It's very motivating!!

Bet you'll have an eeven better harvest this year.

inspirational. :)

Looks wonderful! Well done  ;D

Thanks to everyone for their comments............I did wonder if I was just being a show off........but I  AM proud of my plot and I wanted to share it.

When we started the lottie I also had an 80 ft garden at home.........however during last year my home circumstances changed, and my daughter and I now live with my father. So my personal home patch has reduced to a small front garden.  However I have filled it with flowers, bulbs and wallflowers so far...........I also bought three rose bushes from Peter Beales last autumn.

All the flowers have shades of Orange in them, I want to see if I can get the garden in Bloom all year just using primarily  one colour.  A challenge to me, cos usually I buy just what I fancy regardless of colour.

I may place a few more pictures of a more recent variety.....  ;D...... but not for a week or two

 :)  great lotty diary Liza.  I love the uplifting music as the pics of the shed unfold  ;D

Great to see the cooker, pots and pans and stuff.  That's what my old man wants the plot for.  That plus listening to the away matches on the radio while he drinks lager from his deck chair.  No actual growing of stuff - just relaxing while I worry about the veg  ;D

oh my! i am humbled by your beautiful allotment site!
that is how i want mine to look, truly a haven of peace.

gardenerJ     Ta for all the calabrese and broccoli swops.  I'm really pleased and can't wait to get going  ;D

First of all Hi Liza,
                     What an inspiration to me, I've been very fortunate to receive an allotment in good condition, if I can get mine half as good as yours I'll be well chuffed.
Hope you don't mind me asking, did you purchase your shed from a local company ? seems a lot better made than the ones I've been looking at.
Like the diary format on your website as well.

Hi Lisa
Your pictures look fantastic and are certainly an inspiration to me who is about to embark on my first growing year.
I certainly hope I can grow as well as you have managed to in your first year.
Keep it up.
Fantastic.
Melanie :)

Thank you Liza,  ;D, I really enjoyed looking at your site.
Its very inspirational, you can be very proud of all your hard
work and achievments.

I ordered my shed form the local garden centre....and it is a good one......I sealed all the joints inside with bath caulking cos I don't like spiders moving in...........
and all those gaps where the roof joists leave little gaps between the joints of roof boards........

Glad you all liked the pictures and thanks for all your comments...........

Liza

Liza, That was truly fabulous.  What you have achieved is marvelous and what a fantastic diary too.  I loved the frogs and the music as well as seeing your amazing progress on your allotment  throughout the year. I am filled with admiration.  I wondered which part of the country you were from?  My guess is down south, looking at your crops.  Congratulation you have every right to feel proud.  :) busy_lizzie

OKAY...............final updates to the site have now been done, if anyone is interested in seeing it................liza

well done what alot of hard work looks wonderfull and yes u should do another log for this year is very inspiring to read

Thanks for that Liza,I enjoyed looking at your pics.

Can't wait to get my own lottie!!

Wow - well done Liza. Here's to 2005 !!!

Yes..................down South is right...................anything that doesn't grow right i can always throw off the end of the pier................i'm right on the coast!!!

Liza

And there's me saying elsewhere 'why not open your site to the team'. How the h*ll did I miss such a brilliant bit of work first time around??

Not only the garden site, but the web site also. Beautifully done.

Thanks Tim.............its amazing what you can find to do to pass the time when its snowing...............PLUS its fired me right up for this season...............I can't wait to get going now!!!!
