hi
« on: July 17, 2012, 17:30 »
thought say hello from the wirral,had our allotment for 1 yr now and its been hard but enjoyable,this was our plot on day one

there was garage doors ,carpets ,bricks, metal work trees ,brambles, weeds and 4ft high grass.after 2days off back breaking solid strimming to find the floor it was down to clearing the rubbish left and dumped .this was approx 1mth later its been a long hard road we winter being a bad one for me knee playing up badly courtesy of my knee replacement op so things went on hold for a while but this summer
(if thats what you can call it )its been go go go and things looking better realised the advice of a lot of people was right dont try do too much at once set yourself projects and tasks for the day and stick to them even if you finish them quicker than you thinkthis year its been more of a pleasure getting beds ready and planting things next year gonna be better fingers crossed as will ave all my plot ready for planting so can sit and enjoy it bit more

I've moved this out of Welcome, as you're not really a new member  ;)

Slowly but surely does it, but keep up the good work  :)

Good progress  :D
I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days all attack me at once...
