Title: Then and now with pics
Post by: aubergine on June 21, 2009, 21:22

Hi

I took the camera today and was staggered by the differences since October last year.

Blood, sweat and tears (literally) (and lots of broken glass) but it all seems worth it now.

First is the allotment before I took it over

Looking at your first pic, I think I might have turned and ran. Good for you for turning it into a real show stopper. Hope all your veggies taste fab.

I am seriously impressed with the transformation, it just shows what hard work can do.  If mine looked half as good as that in 6 months I would be more than pleased.
