Hi

Just wanted to say hello and welcome you to the forum. I'm in Southampton too, took over my plot in oct 07 so in much the same situation-Which site is your plot on I'm at Athelstan road-small world!! Don't be too disheartened by the weed situation just keep pulling a few up everytime you visit and you'll keep on top of it. Even if everyone was good enough to keep all their plot covered the weeds would still get through! Also a certain amount of long grass and weeds are good for the insects and animals-I've had a grass snake, slow worms and loads of ladybirds on my plot so its best to let a bit grow wild!! Hope you have fun, everytime I get a bit downhearted I just think of everything I've achieved!!

Kind regards
