Well done!  It look amazing!

Thanks everyone.  I joined this site last year when I was right at the beginning, and I drew great comfort from seeing other people's "before and after" stories on here so I hope this helps someone else who's starting off.

I have to say, I've learned so much from these forums, I don't really think I'd have got as much done as I have, without the advice from the lovely people here, and hopefully you've all saved me from making too many mistakes.

I'm in a similar situation to you Penny, I got the peice of land I'm turning into an allotment last year but didn't manage to get anything done due to work. I've just been off for 2 weeks and been able to get loads done. I think it's amazing how much it starts to look like an allotment even when the grass has been removed. My plot is full of couch grass and it's heavy clay soil so it's hard work digging it all over, but as I keep telling myself 'It will all be worth it in the end'. A bit more digging this week and I'll hopefully be putting something in the ground. I've got loads of stuff at home ready to go in. Good luck with the rest of your plot

Keep going!  It will be worth it, I promise

Here you go Penny, here is a before and a how it looks this evening photo. The before pic is taken at the back right of the plot, the after is taken from a different angle near the back left of the plot
