    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.

    The only normal people you know are the ones you don’t know very well

    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!
