Default Photographic record

I got my allotment in May and quickly set about tidying it up and making it ready for planting. Then I took a few photo's

Big mistake!

What I should have done in hindsight was take photographs BEFORE I began then photograph it at regular stages to build up a record of achievements

Hopefully I will be getting another overgrown allotment soon and this time I will make sure I have a FULL photographic record to look back on for the future

Worth bearing in mind if you are soon to get an allotment!

Trouble is it's depressing when there's no change

It's a good idea to take a photo as you progress. I have a few on Picasa of this spring, but have not yet got round to learning how to export them. (yes I know I have been directed by a few kind soles out there but it's always gone wrong!! )..Mental note to self....New Years resolution in the offing!!!
