Looks like I've got a lot of work ahead.



There are a lot of weeds under the sheeting as it lets light through.



But little bye little we'll getr there.

looks like youve got a good little plot there - is the greenhouse and shed yours?

if you've got kids, arm them with a pair of scissors, and get them lopping the tops off those dandilions asap! it will be invaluable in the longrun!
my dad used to pay us 2p a head for them! (not sure what the current going rate is!?!

I was  at your dandelions!  Lots of work and I hope that tree doesnt cause too much of a pain.  Enjoy the setting up!

You have got some dadelions there,I have sime near me because the plot owner does not attend.
I have removed all the flowers so they don't run to seed.

The green house and shed are ours. The trees cause a problem to the rear of the grrenhouse but will use this for compost heap maybe. It gets sun until about 4pm. but have lots to do before I get to that problem.

Good luck with it all Baz.  We've got our first plot this year and it has been a lot of hard but very rewarding work so far.

Looks like your neighbour on the left is a very organised person, could be a valuable source of info.  Happy growing.

I've just found out you can eat dandelion flowers! I already knew you can blanch the plant itself and eat it like endive, and the root, well, between your dandelions and my burdocks, I reckon we could start up a business.

Congratulations it looks like a great plot and lucky you with a greenhouse and shed too!  Take it slowly and enjoy it as much as you can.  My best piece of advice would be to clear a little bit and plant something in there that is quick (eg radish or salad leaves) so that you can really see something growing!

I'll come and dehead them for you for 5p a head  ......... won't even cost you my fare cos I'll use me bus pass  - and you can keep the heads to make wine .... which will make that plot look better and better the more glasses you have !!!!!

Congratz!

Thats's a very nice looking plot. Trust me that'll be fairly easy to sort unlike mine that resembled a council tip! (Still load to do  )

Good luck and keep us informed of progress!
