So I'm all paid up (£13 a year for the rent!) and the lease is signed. I went back this morning to find my plot had been strimmed as promised! I made a list of jobs to do and equipment needed. First job is to fix the rotten gate post. I was allowed to take a post from an abandoned plot but I had to wrestle it from a HUGE spider!!!
If I leave a path on each side, a seating area at the gate end and a compost area at back, I still have a veggie patch that is 4 metres wide by 12 metres long for planting up. The tower you see on the Ochill hills in the distance is The Wallace Monument.
And facing the other way you can just see a wee bit of Stirling Castle in the top right hand corner. It's just brilliant!!
I can't put a shed on it as it's part of the communal garden so I need to think outside the box re storing tools. I have a few ideas I think might work. Watch this space!
I can picture where you are, I have once been to the top of the Wallace tower, good luck with your plot.
ReplyDeleteThanks! It's a fabulous view up there. I did once many many years ago. I wouldn't do it now!!!
DeleteLooks like an awful lot of work. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm planning a wee bit at a time and I'll rope in some helpers too :-)
DeleteWow, that's a project! I hope you enjoy the work and good luck with your planting, too.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Yep, it's a big project but luckily I've got all summer to get it in order
DeleteI'm sure the spider fought back well! ;-)

DeleteHi would you be able to put one of those plastic storage benches on your plot to store some tools in. Heather
ReplyDeleteI've ordered one from B&Q and am collecting it tonight! Great minds... :-)
DeleteWow, that looks like a lot of hard work ahead of you but with brilliant views! It will certainly keep you out of mischief and fitter - or flat on your back lol. I can't wait to see how you get on. Enjoy! x
ReplyDeleteOh I can find mischief in lots of places!! xxx
