The lottie

Went to see the plot today, and it's not bad. Bit smaller than I remember, but that might be beacuse I was much smaller when dad had one, so everything looked bigger lol. It's in the corner of the sire, with scope to 'acquire' a little extra land, and overhung by a couple of trees, that hopefully won't be a problem causing too much shade. They'd strimmed it back already, but it looks like there's plenty of bindweed waiting to re-grow. I'm not intending to do much this year but plan beds, so fingers crossed it won't be too much of a problem.

We went to have a look at the other plot I was offered, but it didn't have the same feel to it, even though it was a little bit bigger, so I think I made the right choice. The shed on it definately needs to come down. It's a mess! Not to mention full of junk and falling apart. I did find a metal tank type thing in the undergrowth that I will use for collecting water, and mums old shed will go nicely under the trees.

I should be able to work in sorting the beds out while I'm waiting for them to remove the shed. Paul told me today the wife of a chap he works with keeps horses, so mulching won't be a problem. Might stink the car out a bit bringing it home mind lol. Time to get building a compost bin or two now (along with finishing the chiken house!).

Still excited :-)
