Glad you enjoyed it peapod, & fab progress
Please keep us posted with lots of pics as you go on?

[tweeky]

Seconded.

Great stuff.

Looks as though you are ace at growing woody crops. :roll:

[Snap Dragon]

Looks like hard work but it'll be worth it!

I'll be keeping an eye on your blog for updates  

[peapod]

Im going to add more pics to blog soon :-)
I must have seen it with rose tinted specs last night when I first went down because I said to Chris (OH) that I thought it wasnt that bad!
Its full of docks, bind weed and mares tail, you cant see in the pics but Id done 3 hours of weeding before anyone else came up!
Theres also another shed to come down, which some naughty person has hidden a lot of asbestos under, so I need to contact the council about that. and all 4 of the fences need rebuilding fast!
but Im chuffed with the progress all in one day
and the soil is great under all the weeds, because it hasnt been worked for at least 5 years - the previous owner just used it for chickens

Oh peapod, yours is going to be great! I got mine tonight too and can honestly say I have never seen so many weeds in my life - some were taller than me!  Can't wait to see how yours progresses.

Bet you sleep well tonight, peapod  

[SnooziSuzi]

pity doc isn't edible, otherwise you'd have a banquet on your hands there!

Good luck with clearing it - take it steady and write down a plan - it really helps when you're not sure what to put where.

You'll probably get loads of the old guys down there 'advising' you to put potatoes in it and nothing else...  that's what they all say to newbies on the allotments  :roll:

good luck with it all

Chippie , we want pics!
Im glad no weeds were taller than me! I was freaking in case there were rats close by because I was warned there may be some!

Its my sisters boyfriends, he has all the kit :-) No idea where he got it from though :-(

PS blog updated :-)

[chippie295]

Have a look on my post on the welcome forum peapod, i added my pics on there....

Rats, yikes!  I did see some massive frogs on my plot tonight, i'm trying to remember that they are good for the garden and not be all girlish and squirmy about them :?

[peapod]

sorry chippie,Ill shoot over there now! Ive been so busy since I got home Ive only looked on the GYO section!

Frogs are great!

but only the little ones

   

[SalJ1980]

Well done PeaPod, bet you had fun knocking that shed down!  

Chippie...I hate frogs too, and the bloke on the plot opposite mine has got a pond....*gibber!*

[Trillium]

Lots of pallet wood on those fences, peapod. You could make several compost bins and a decent shed with them if they're coming down.
and that's no mallet - that's a meat tenderizer  

[DD.]

Where's all the peas?
