          How exciting. Remember that camera or phone. A compass would be handy too.

              Compass is a good idea, I will take one with me so that I look like I know what I am doing!

                Thats just in case its so overgrown that you need it to find your way out the weeds ;-)

                Long tape measure might be helpful too...

                    Or use Google Earth/Maps if you need to find where North and South is relative to your plot

                        I feel as excited as you guys everytime someone new gets a plot! I'm hopeless

                        Enjoy (maybe a machete to hack your way back out if it's a little overgrown? )
                        I'll just have a quick look in VC's crystal ball - I foresee you will have great fun, and possible posssibly a little anguish over some bugs later in the year

                              well here it is!

                              And I got the keys!

                              I was lucky enough to get a 3 perch, which is exactly what I wanted.

                              THe plot does not need too much work.

                              And there are 2 compost bins already there, and a tiny shed....

                              Very pleased....

                              And there is a plum tree there.
