Good luck! Take a spade to test the soil in each. My mother has hard clay one end of our site and I have lovely rich easy to dig soil.
My favourite weed is a raspberry ;)

I had the offer of two plots, one was a bit wild and bare naked other than for a few weeds again not too much of a problem. The other was a bit of sad story re elderly gentleman renting the plot, falling out with son who looked after it then giving it up. I did feel a bit guilty, however bought his shed, small cold frame/store and water butt it has raised beds already made up and a few bits and pieces he is leaving as well so went for that one. I'm so excited...

That's a gem of a plot,well done & good choice. Still remember little & often is them best plan, it can take a long time to recover if you hurt yourself.  :( enjoy it & consider starting a diary thread on here to chart your progress. :lol:

Looks great  :D most of us would have loved to have got a plot in such good condition.

A good time to get it, too, as the growing season is almost upon us.

What a fab plot! And with leeks and kale standing by the looks of it too. And plenty of space for climbing beans and tomatoes.  ;)

Congrats, it must feel like a lottery win!
