Title: My soon-to-be garden of eden
Post by: Deleted on March 08, 2005, 14:51:55
Here it is!

The 'before' pictures - you may have some wait for the 'after' pics. Lots of work, but it'll be worth it (I hope!).

'Shed' is coming down next (unless it falls down first) - rusted through corrugated iron without much of a roof. Window frames have no glass, so i have some 'plastic' stuff to make coldframes, etc.

Weeds will soon be dealt with (she says, optimistically) and i have my potatoes chitting and seeds at the ready. All I need now is the energy...

Hi,

Sadly nothing productive so far. Not so young (42), and energy levels questionnable, but i'm working on them: Will be growing spinach and eating copious amounts!! Spent 3 hours there on Sunday, more planned this weekend. I'm surrounding by lots of keen people buying me seeds, so feel obliged to at least get it all prepared and planted for them - its good because it spurs me on, and those dates on the back of the packets (when to plant) keep getting closer! Watch this spece, as they say.

Love the allotment pics.  It looks a good one (what do I know ha ha) and the bare bones are there at least.  It looks as if it's not been out of use for too long.  Good luck with it  :)
