Little Wonky Lottie...up and ready, but not yet running

Its been a week or so of hard graft. Lord knows how my lovely old dad manages an allotment plot of around 20ft x 30ft!

Its been trial and error.

I knew in my head exactly how I wanted it to look. It was increasingly frustrating when that wasn't what I was seeing.

But finally, I think I've got there...

And now, with a little bit of computer magic (and a big thank you to "Google Images")...

So this is my plan;
Carrots, red onions, strawberries, munchkin pumpkin, potatoes, parsnip,  cucumber and dwarf french
beans!

And here is what I have made using a brilliant app from Growveg.com:

And here is the "growing plan" that accompanies the vegs you choose:

Amazing hu?! I think it would be better in 3D, but you get the gist!

Now, back to my little "structure"...I'm aware its a bit "rough around the edges", but that's what makes it mine!
And considering I never had any intention of growing food at all!

Here are some close up shots of what I have going on here:

Little tubs from IKEA, that have been screwed to the fence, with several drainage holes at the bottom

Trellis; made using growing canes, string and twigs from my trees, all attached to the main frame and the
fence above to keep it supported for the Cucumber to climb up.

I've been inspired greatly by one person in particular: Katie from Lavender and Leeks. Her videos are top quality, relatable and easy watching, as well as being finished professionally.

From her I have discovered...Sarah Raven...my "Wish List" is already bursting at the seams! Thank god for Crimbo around the corner; The Hubs has been informed!

Anyway, I'm off to the local stables next week to try and get some manure (Mmmm! Yummy!) for free to put on my little patches.

After all this, all there is to do is sort out my little Green house for starting the veggies off in next year. Planning on having one side for flowers and one for veg...should be ok!

Ah! Real sense of achievement that all this is done!
