On the plot

Another one with an allotment! Grr..Must be my turn soon..

Very pleased for you Sensei :0) Six to choose from as well!!! Glad you got one that is right for you...Good luck.

Just seen the photo's......Jealousy/ Envy is a very bad, bad thing. Wowing on the free greenhouse, a bit of work and you could live there in the summer.

My thinking is live there full stop lol. Well after bit of work :)

Now thats what I`d consider a good day, I have seen your pics and the greenhouse is smashing, a bit of doctoring from you and your grandad and you have no excuses whatever the weather, I wish you every success and hope you enjoy working your space.
I look forward to seeing more...

Lots of hard work ahead . Good luck !

Wow what a greenhouse, I would move in & live off the land ! Lol.

Lucky lucky you :)
We (our residents association) are in the process of trying to convince the owners of a plot of land in the village to turn it over for allotments. Although we don't hold out much hope - there is going to be no harm in asking :)

Oh..Good luck with that Scottish. better it is used

Well he has been knocked back for planning permission and it used to be a 'nursery' so soil must be good!!
I used to work for the guy who owns the land when I first left school and personally - I don't hold out much hope!

how exciting Sensei. and so many lovely pots. a lot of work to do but what a great spot. look forward to seeing it develope.:-)

Oh just look at that green house :O and all those pots too ....Wonderful ! I'm very pleased for you. Good luck ....
And good luck to you aswell Scottish. I hope the owner of that land sees some sense.

oh wow,what a brilliant greenhouse,a lot of work to do ,good luck

Wow fantastic news love the greenhouse and with a bit of tlc it will all be fab

Good luck and enjoy.

Lucky You!

2 years is nothing Bilbo...Trouble is here that although they are council owned. They are run by the Allotment holders and they do the allocating, so it pays to know a man who knows a man..........

Thanks for all the comments :) I can't wait to get started...cant till the weekend though :( can I retire very early now ???

We have friends who live in central London in a tiny basement flat, and last year they managed to get an allotment. They (rather shamefacedly) admit they use it as an excuse when there's something they don't want to do. Shopping with in-laws? Sorry, we have to get the allotment ready for planting potatoes. "What's that, Gran? I'm sorry, I can't hear you - the reception's dreadful down here at the allotment!" Paint the livingroom ceiling? I'd LOVE to, but I have a ton of rubbish to dig out of the allotment - moan, moan. We've got you allotment owners sussed - we aren't daft!
