      Sounds just like my plot too!!!! Every year I vow to get organised and keep on top of it all and I started off well this year but then it all went to pot and now I find it's mid-June!!!! I was feeling pretty low the other day but today feeling a bit better and going to pick myself up and carry on.....some of my crops may be slightly later than others but what the heck.....it's all a learning curve

        Been a bit busy growing on the other plot but still plodding on....almost a year (Sept 26) since I took the challenge on so

        A long way behind where I wanted to be but combination of the other plot, weather and age have played a part in over running

          You may think you are behind where you wanted to be but you have made huge strides given where you started!

              The difference from last year is huge. Much better to do it slowly than hurry and find you are building nice new raised beds on top of perennial weeds.

                Well done greenleaves! (Don't like to see empty beds though!);)

                      Greenleaves, youve worked so hard to achieve all that in a few months.
                      Take a bow and be rightly proud of yourself.
                      Looking great.

                      And when your back stops aching,
                      And your hands begin to harden.
                      You will find yourself a partner,
                      In the glory of the garden.
