Update on the plot - photos
« on: April 24, 2011, 19:36 »
Hi

I've done lots and lots of work on my plot recently, and feel for the first time ever that I've broken the back of it.  I thought I'd share my pride with you all.

August 2009 - April 2011

That's amazing progress, you've put parts of my lotty to shame!

I think the 'before' photos are so important, because it's so easy to forget how much one has done.

I LOVE looking at the before pictures.

My Dad is currently building me a Summer house, which will go next to the greenhouse, and when it's doen, I'm going to put up the before pictures inside it.

Sometimes I think I'll never get there as there's still so much to do, but then I see the before pictures and see how far I've come, and then I don't mind that there's still loads to do.

Plus, I've enjoyed it all !

I'm exactly the same as you Kimberley. When I 1st got my plot I thought it would be really easy and I'd be able to get loads of things done really quickly, but it's amazing how long things actually take to do and I've loved every minute of it

Wow, you have been busy and it's looking good. I took on my first plot in 2008 and it's really only now that I think it's got my signature on it. I too have a picture in my shed of what my first plot used to look like when I took it over and it ain't half satisfing to look at what you have achieved!!!!!!!
