It was a beautiful June when I chose this plot and I could see the potential (believe it or not!)

It already had blackcurrant and redcurrant bushes, a huge gooseberry - which I have the admit was the first to go...an over-dose as a child of these hairy green horrors put paid to that. Plus most of the plot seemed to have given into strawberry plants.

Thus, my children were delighted I had taken on this overgrown jungle filled to the brim with juicy red berries.

Work began pretty rapidly, the days were warm and long and I found out what a great way to get fit without spending money at a gym!
