Whoop, whoop! ? That's is a lovely sized plot! We also acquired our second plot yesterday - very exciting - love unearthing the gems left behind by other gardeners - such fun! Loving the chair and flask of sherry.. Clearly I need to take a leaf out of your book... Our flask of herbal tea and me perching my posterior on a galvanised water tank isn't going to cut the mustard! ??
This takes me back to when I first got my allotment
Received, unworked, lots of rubbish mixed and plenty of weeds, however nice shout about sorting out the rubbish for burning as there in nothing worse than when someone tries to burn plastic it's unhealthy.
Having looked at your photos it takes me back but please please stick in little and often changing jobs so you don't get fed up and I can guarantee you a fantastic return and result.
Good luck and please keep every one updated with as many pictures of your progress.
You never know a bottle of champs next to your chair in the summer
Fantastic bit of space there Victoria ?, lots of hardwork to be done but as Chris said, small steps at a time and by this time time next year you will be wondering what all the fuss was about. Looking forward in seeing your progress pics ?
Vic , non gardeners would look at your pictures and cringe. I just see pass the mess to how its going to look once you clear away the rubbish and get started planning on what your going to do with it. I feel a little envious , all that space and starting from scratch...just wonderful. It will be hard work to start with but oh the joy when you have it just how you want it. Good luck with your allotment , looking forward to seeing it as it progresses
Thanks for your good wishes guys? I lay awake happily thinking about it last night?
I should say it wasn't really sherry in the flask just coffee...
I don't really mind tidying up the outside area, even though I'm going to have to take stuff to the tip (carpet, car battery, fire extinguisher etc ?) I don't really like the shack though, the contents remind me of a dirty house, I'll do 10 mins in there max, at a time
At the moment the ground is really easy to walk on despite being wet, so I'm going to dig as little as poss, just for the fruit I've ordered, until I've got some walkways organised
I know what you mean aym, I'm definitely keeping it. I thought I might try and repair it and paint it at some point. It's the sofa cushions, empty food packets, drinks containers, that I don't like...boxes of rusty metal junk and other oddities It'll seem nicer when it has my own junk in it
This is it after I'd done the first tidy up - don't have a 'before' pic. Used disposable gloves everywhere ☹️

I look foward to seeing it develop Vic.

Hi Victoria

Happy gardening
Victoria, good luck. I wish I had an allotment.
I know absolutely nothing about allotments but I do enjoy seeing the progress of a new gardening project.
Good luck with your exciting adventure Victoria? I'm looking forward to watching it grow into something wonderful over the coming years
