The new plot

I went up this morning to check out the new plot, and it’s not looking too bad:
The shed needs a new door and wall, but it’s structually sound and the roof is in good condition. Unfortunately, that’s dock that you see growing around it, but the couple on the plot next door (on the left of the fence in the picture above) have covered most of it with plastic so I at least have somewhere to start without having to clear the whole plot (which had been my original plan, but I’m so glad it’s not necessary).
The only worry I have is that I’m unsure of the boundaries of this plot; the corner markers by the shed are clear enough but at the far end they don’t seem to exist. There are a pair of yellow ones on the plot next door but they are 18 inches apart (indicating that they delineate the mandatory path between plots), whilst the boundary at the back of this plot is supposed to be 2 metres. The fact that this is a 9 perch plot rather than the usual 10 doesn’t help to clear the confusion. I’ll have to go up with a measuring tape to get sizes for the shed, so I can work it out then.
Can Soph have the dock? (for dying fleece apparently)
Ha ha, how much does she want? I talked to her about it yesterday actually; if she wants any major quantities then it would be well worth her getting her own small plot and just doing nothing with it. That way she can whatever weeds she wants - we have dock, bindweed, ragwort and field horsetail as major problems along with all your usual weeds
Any bike in this shed ? :-)
pfft. I could build a better bikeshed than that.
I live in a tower apartment-like place. We don't have bike sheds, so I would really like to borrow yours.
After measuring up what I'm going to need to fix it, it looks like a better plan to replace it altogether, so if you want to pay for shipping it's yours!
