    Just started (this will be the start of my first full year) to dig the allotment, and going to plant some spuds this weekend, I'm lucky that I have a very large plot, so I'm going to put some flowers in maybe 1/2 of it or at least 1/3 at least over to wild flowers for insects and bees, so i will have lots of pollinators, and some nice colours, i have annuls, and perennials, its all seeds, I'm hoping it would look nice, but most important of all is I still have to try and keep rabbits out, and if I'm lucky catch a few for the pot as well

    I was going to stick some picks up, but I'm sure you guys have seen to many of this kind of thing before..... I'm not here to bore you :loll:

          Very good Dopey, you have it well prepared now, that's a fair bit of hard work you've put into that. Nice gate!
