    Wow you've worked hard! Looking great :)
    You should be able to supply a small town with that - or roadside stall to suplement the running costs.

    I can rise and shine - just not at the same time!

    Looks great. Bins add flair and vibrancy, might pinch that idea!

    Want to do mine 😁

    Thank you so much! 
    It’s all a learning curve so we started with half a plot to see how we get on. 
    @MovingForwards I got the decals from Amazon, I love them ! Scarecrow next, just nabbed a hippy style dress from vinted for £2 🤣

    That's fantastic! I was contemplating a scarecrow too as I'll be having corn on my plot!
