Thanks Amblealice, I wasn't sure. What does it mean when you say you are waiting for your allotment? I see that all the time on this web site. Is it a free piece of land someone let's you use, or what?

No Valerie....it is land that you rent, usually from your local Council, althought there are private plots..

Thanks for clearing that up. Are these plots close to your home? What about the security of your garden, or isn't that a problem?

Fortunately they are a 5 minute walk from where I live; which is useful as I don't drive. Security?....there isn't any as far as I know Valerie.....I haven't heard of any destruction/thefts....apart from the rabbits and pigeons....lol.
