It looks amazing, so neat and well organised, its going to be a pleasure growing your own in such a lovely environment.  Beats being surrounded by a sea of black polythene a la Lady Lottie's plot!  ::)

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. I got to admit i have become a little obsessed with my plot. Im almost 70% done now and im really looking forward to the new growing season.  The boards are used scaffold boards. They cost me £6.50 for a 13foot length. Anyone that is interested in some for their own plot can contact me by email and i will give you the number of the guy i got them from  :D

Just to put it into perspective, Lottyboy, any idea what you've spent on wood?

At a rough guess some of those larger beds must have cost over 50 quid each!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?
