Never had a lottie, always had a garden big enough for our needs, but that looks very tempting

Got to wonder what you've been doing with your spare time - do you have a hobby of some kind ?

(sorry couldn't resist the temptation any longer) :-)

[keat63]

I did have hobbies until we got the allotment.

It's been a few weekends hard work, but now most of the hardwork is done, hopefully, next year will be easier.

[Snoop Puss]

That's a plot you can be proud of. Congratulations.

I'd like to be associated with the comments of the last speaker/poster.

Certainly impressive work, should you be allowed to work your parents that hard?

[Bren In Pots]

It does look a productive plot

[Lumpy]

Wow.........well done.
OK so plans for this year are?

[Nicos]

Gosh!
That's fantastic
Well done -very inspiring

[SarrissUK]

That looks amazing! Bloody well done!

Looks amazing. I live in hope that in 11 weeks time mine may look like that. Do you have a before pic?

[keat63]

I thought I had a before pic, but can't seem to find it.
I'll ask the Mrs.
I do have one of us putting the pallet fence up and the first bit of rotivating in April, but it's from the opposite direction.

Try and control the thistles and HorseTail weed.
I can see the HorseTail being troublesome.

Dad works hard for his age. :-)

That is truly amazing. Im just at the strimming, weedkiller & black plastic stage. Just done 1 weekend. Ive got loads of horsetail. If i can just get it it a manageable level, lol. Well done

[keat63]

To be fair, there have been 4 of us at it.

The horsetail seems to be resticted to one particular area, so I'm tempted next spring to wollop it with Glufosinate-ammonium and have that particular area as a late plot.
