    Morning all,

    Thought I would post some pictures of how much I have progressed on my plot so far.

    What a slog it has been. Started off in Rambo mode and hacked the entire plot of weeds (after hearing of someone stealing my neighbours potatoes I took this moment of insane weedslaughter to make any potential potato thief think twice about pinching my produce [​IMG] ) before eventually dividing the whole plot up into nice growing sections seperated with wood-chipped path ways.

    In between this two tunnels were erected, many lessons were made and copious amounts of tea were drunk.

    Its nearly there, all I need now is for the shed to be finished and a few last little bits and bobs to sort out!

    And a big thank you to all of you who have (and will continue to do so) given me lovely advice along the way!

    Here's to a productive future [​IMG]
