It was worth the hard graft!

[blue411]

I posted a thread on here a few weeks ago about whether to dig over my garden myself or pay someone to do it as i knew it would be hard graft.............well i did it myself and here are the results as of today, i may increase the size a little bit more, depending on how much im planning to grow, but i feel GREAT!!! you guys were soooo right, it is so satisfying knowing that i did all the hard work myself, i just wanted to share my pictures as i feel quite proud of myself..Yay!

Well done Blue - good decision - I bet you end up digging more than you planned originally!

[FionaH]

Yay you! Great feeling isn't it? Mind you I got my son to dig over my Dads for me, it was solid clay
Did all this garden though

Well done! I bet you feel fantastic and bursting with plans. Hot bath and a glass/mug of something nice might be nice now, as you stretch out with the seed catalogues.

Brilliant!! Its so satisfying digging your own patch. Now, whats on your list to grow in it?

[blue411]

Where to start......
Potatoes (already chitting), onions, peas, carrots, leeks, brussel sprouts, cabbage,courgettes, cucumbers, salad leaves, and anything else that i cant think of at the moment, im sure ive forgotten something

[Jeanied]

Ahem - and how big is that bed again?

More digging methinks........Well done, it's a good feeling when you've achieved something like that.

It's so much better to feel that it's all your own work. Helps with the smugness! Wait till you start eating the stuff though!

Well done Blue . It's also good taking photos as you can see the progress youve made as you go along. Photos when you've planted please..........

I may increase the size a little bit more, depending on how much im planning to grow

I think you had better put that thought at the top of your list blue........
