why thank you caroline not really a day or so they need alittle more work thought it might line the edge with timber or something like that so i aint got to keep on edging every few weeks

Nice plot job ... I personally would not do any timber edging , it encourages pests by providing nice safe homes !

i wastnt going to use timber  i can get some fiberglass it sounds weird but it looks good but a lot of worknot sure if i can be bothered with the stress but once its done no more edging still not sure if its worth it my mate just finished his i might wait and see how it goes

My plot is a bit like a jungle I do rather admire the nice tidy people. 
But the soil is so much easier to work than when I started with what seemed like concrete. 
I hate bare brown soil though.   
Not sure that fibre glass is great either.  The slugs will still hide under the edge.  What happens if it gets damaged, do you get bits of glass strand in the soil?

I have more or less finished tidying up Plot 20. 

Garlic is in, the winter / Spring greens are progressing nicely.

Will lift and box up my Chrysanthemums next week and thats it for Plot 20

Weather permitting I hope to have Plot 19 finished within the next two weeks, then it will be a case of everything has been put to bed for the winter

Might take a photo or two when I have done!
