Allotments 4 All

7  months ago my garden was a barren land of couch grass, and a patio I didn't know was there.

As I don't have an allotment, thought would post pictures that I took this morning to show everyone how its all doing :)

My new edition to the garden, I laid a path at the weekend.

So started out as a complete novice here a few months ago, and as everyone can see its all coming on really nicely.

Thank  you to EVERYONE, for advice, seeds and patience :D :D :D :D

Its looking really good.

Well done on all the hard work!!

Looking great and how nice to have a helper ;D

Well done you :)

Wow,what a lot of hard work,well  ;Ddone to you it looks great.

Wow, that looks amazing! Good for you, I'm very jealous.

That is looking wonderful!  Well done!

Well done Springbokgirlie - Looks really good and what a lot of hard work you must have done. 

Certainly 10 times better than my garden. 

I love your little helper too!  She is pretty cute!

WELL DONE! You are doing brilliantly, I can't believe you have a sweetpea in flower already! Keep us posted with things as they change.

Well done- it's looking great. You should be proud of yourself!

Thanks everyone!!  Its all been worth the effort! 

Butternut squash showed its little head this morning.... Isn't growing things great :D :D

Fantastic work !!!!! it is a garden to be very proud of  :D
Love your little helper, a budding gardener of the future  ;)

It's looking great  ;D.

My first year of gardening was last year. I thought I would have a go at growing veg in containers, but didn't have a clue where to start so I found this forum. As you say, everyone here is so welcoming to newbies, you can ask the silliest of questions and you don't get laughed at, and the advice you get from other members is second to none.

Before my first growing season was over, my name was down for a lottie. I went on the list last year at number 40 so I don't expect to have one anytime soon  ::)

I absolutely love gardening now and can't think for the life of me why I haven't taken this up sooner. The joy at seeing something appear in the soil, grow, and then you eat it is brilliant  ;D

I love your little helper. I've got two 'bigger' helpers  :)

Jo.

well done!!  ;)

Well done that girl.   :o   ;D ;D ;D
