Exciting times for you, don't do too much too quickly & hurt yourself or you'll put a stop to any progress  :)

Sounds really great. Good luck with it.
Don't try to clear too much in one go. Little bit at a time...
Cheers,
Balders

Welcome to a whole new world!!! It's hard to resist dancing around the plot shouting "Mine - all mine!!!!!!!!!!!", isn't it?

Start a thread on the diary page to keep track of your progress (if you haven't already).

A lovely plot you got there! Lucky you! Still not too late for runners and courgettes...also winter veggies like cabbages and sprouts. I remember getting mine late June and still managed a good crop of runner beans and courgettes. Have fun.

We get the key tomorrow unfortunately I'm at work but good old mum is going to collect it for me so guess where I'll be going straight after work. I'm on day off Sunday so hoping for some dry weather. I've got the camping stove ready but just realised I have no kettle!

Thanks for the growing tips I would like to clear a bit and plant it straight up so we can see what we have done rather than leaving it bare for the weeds to come back.

Went to the garden centre today hoping to pick up some courgette and other veg but the only ones they has we're half dead and full priced

Spent our first real day on the plot today, met our plot neighbour who didn't say a lot but I got the impression he thought "here comes another lot, let's see how long these ones last". Lots of other friendly plot holders went past most in cars nodding or smiling as they went but a few stopped to say hello and offer a few friendly words of advice.

We spent about 4-5 hours up there in the lovely sunshine, I was very grateful to our little camping stove which kept us supplied in tea but I really must take some food next time.

Here's a few photos of what we managed to get done. We also cleared a path to the shed and potting shed/greenhouse but I forgot to take a photo of that.

Well done so far  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
