This is our second year of allotmenteering:

1.  Plan to be at your allotment - otherwise we find out time taken over by all of life's other distractions

2. Don't give up even when you get an eviction notice from the Council cos you've only cultivated half of your allotment  :(

3. View eviction letters as negative motivation (see above - our plot is now almost 3/4s cultivated and we are so proud of our little-selves)

4. Don't have grass paths between beds (they seemed such a good idea at the time!!! What were we thinking!)

5. Prune fruit bushes or no fruit the following year!

6.  Invest in black plastic (where do you buy it from????)

7. Weed, weed and weed again!

And last but not least - be grateful for every tip and helping hand you get - thanks to everyone for all your wise advice!
Persevere!
