"My plot is ready for inspection Sir"

[gavinjconway]

I went to the plot on Monday morning to water as I was away for the weekend and found out the committee is inspecting/judging for best plot on Saturday... Eeeeeks... needed to get everything top top and weeded etc.. I didn't know this competition existed!!

So I took the last 3 afternoons off (the joys of working from home) and got stuck in.. Weeded, prepared more beds, planted lettuce, tomatoes, leeks, cabbage, gemsquash and baby corn. Also wood-chipped the berry bushes and removed loads of marestail.. Weeded all the beds and watered the whole plot. Even washed the pathways.

Been a huge rushed job but now is ready.. BTW i'm not into winning the trophy but it would be good.. Take a look at the plot at my blogsite.. www.gavinconway.net

Now my back aches..

Very nice!

You have your best plot judging very early in the season - or is ours (in July) late?

Looks very tidy well done.
How odd that they are judging so early.
good luck

Wow! What a lot of hard work done there, well done you, and well done Duncan too. Hope you do well in the competition, surely you will steal "Best Newcomer" at least?

I'd say yes to best plot and best newcomer!

Well done.

Gutted...  :'( only got a 3rd... but the winner is my neighbour and all her veg is really growin well and looks good. She was lucky - got her planting done in a 2 week hot period before the cold spell..   But I'm not bothered as I'm not in it for the trophy as I only found out 4 days before judging that the competition existed!!

You have done amazing with your plot, well done. A third place is brilliant  ;D

[cornykev]

Well done that man.   :D

[gavinjconway]

I am really pleased.. 3rd is really good as a total newbie.. :)

[Ninnyscrops.]

A huge thumbs up and well done. Next step is to put one or two of those lovely veg, when they ripen, into your local show   :)
