What a Difference a Year Makes...

My before and after shots of the Paddock.

Looks awesome, but windy.

[Creemteez]

Not too bad actually! Inspite of my proximity to the sea, the prevailing winds come mostly from behind those nicely placed trees behind the sheds so I have a decent amount of protection. The rest of the paddock as decent bank/hedges which also do stirling work at deflecting the worst of the weather.

Ooh. That's impressive

[Jono]

Nice! Lots of hard work, I bet. Worth it though. Jealous of the greenhouses.

[Pumpkin Becki]

[pipscariad]

Jealous of the greenhouses.

and me three! That's looking really good, it must have been a lot of work.....but very worth it. And it's so good that you have before and after shots, I always wish I'd taken a pic of my plot when it was still virgin field.

Lookin' goooooood!

You've got room for loooooads of Chooks, an' Geese, an' Sheep, and...

[LolaLou]

Wow - well done indeed!! I now remember seeing the pics of your 'field' last year and thinking rather you than me (I only had to clear a 5 rod plot and am still working on small bits of it that I've ignored to date!!), but you've made fantastic progress - I'm jealous!

[chris]

well done! looks great... can't wait to get my plot sorted to something neat like that

[Creemteez]

Thanks all! I must admit I struck lucky getting my greenhouses. The one nearest the sheds was a freebie that my step-son nabbed for me when he was working at the owners place. It was a case of "take it - or destroy it!" - Such a waste! The middle one was the one I bought for my original little veg garden, and the small one was rotting away in a neighbours garden and he PAYED me to take it away!

[winstonwobble]

lol,Pies! Wallpaper? I think you need to go to Specsavers. The spots you can see are blobs of roofing felt glue! The timber for my beds came from a dismantled cedarwood holiday lodge that Mr Teez bought from the local holiday village. I intend to give everything a coat of waterbased wood preservative to give everything a uniform look.
I know some would say, " It's an allotment - why bother?", but I don't see why something shouldn't be practical AND easy on the eye. Besides, I rent the Paddock privately and want my Landlady to see that her land is being taken care of.
