At our allotment produce show last weekend. Unfortunately I was unwell so couldn't enter any produce, However I'm chuffed to say, in my absence, a panel of three judges awarded me " Best newcomers plot"
Heres a few shots of the progression from Early January this year.

Well deserved prize. Lovely plot :wave:
Congratulations Mike! A well deserved award.
You earned that reward. Plot looks fantastic :)
Brilliant, well done :icon_cheers:
I've lost count of the amount of time people have come on to A4A and said they have just got themselves a plot. Then they ask what is the best stuff to cover it up with to stop the weeds growing. Well there's your answer on Mike's pictures. Loads of plants. The carpet brigade soon disappear from these boards but the growers always stay. Very well done Mike.
If ACE likes it, you have done very, very well. Praise indeed. Wish my plot looked that good.
That is absolutely brilliant. Would you be visiting Birmingham in the near future?
Thanks again folks, I'm overwhelmed by your responses. I have loved every minute of my time on the plots and appreciate your comments. It has been fairly hard work but it is a labour of love.
You never know Lottie, have camper van........ will travel :sunny:
Great pics, always great when you have a sequence of photos to remember how grotty the plot was when you took it over, well done!
Nice one Mike, I've only just seen this, nice shed too. :blob7:
Cheers Deb and Kev :sunny:
