At last....

At last I put my peg down to my own plot, even tho it is well neglected and over grown!!! What is the best way to start the plot in wet November? Any advice??? all welcome! 

Congratulations on your plot. Lots of threads on here about clearing a new allotment, but for absolute starters I would cut it all down and cover with something (plastic, cardboard, weed membrane etc) whilst thinking about how you would best like to go about it.     

What is the best way to start the plot in wet November?

... make hints to family and friends of all the tools, seeds and request appropriate gift vouchers for the coming festivities

Take lots of photos of said plot from all angles - the BEFORE photos so you'll see progress as the months progress and especially a year from now

Make a brew, lean back and draw plans of where to put things.

I've deliberately avoided the outdoor activities as it is a little difficult to advise at this time of year - if the plot is anything like mine, the soil has been bordering on saturation but at least I have raised beds and footpaths so won't be trampling down the soil.  If you can get a fork into the ground without lifting up heavy clods, you might be able to start clearing some of the weeds but I'm sure someone will be along to advise you better

Take a look at other people diaries and enjoy the read in the dark wet months and learn from their mistakes and get ideas from their photographs - consider starting a diary of your own - it's nice to look back at what you have actually achieved in a years time

I'll second, and third, what's been said already - strim down and cover, cover, cover. You won't believe how rampant the grass and weeds will become when spring arrives. Keep it covered and only uncover what you can comfortably dig and plant.

 Good luck and enjoy your new adventure.
