Hello from Manchester
« on: January 09, 2007, 13:40:14 »
Hello and greetings to one 'n all.

I'm Steve, hailing from Manchester.  Thought I'd formally introduce myself after lurking on and off for a while.  Jean and I have had a plot in Guide Bridge for three years, although I was busy most of last year and didn't manage to get too much done.

Still, all motivated for a good year in 2007 and looking forward to a good yield of basics!

Here are some pictures from last weekend when I spent most of my time clearing up leaves and building a manure pile.  I'll also be keeping a 'blog at http://thecrowroad.net/allotment_2007 for anyone who's interested in watching our progress.

That's all for now, I look forward to chatting with you all in the future.
Peruse my allotment diaries here!

Dreadful here in Derby... and the weather isn't too good either. Lancastrian in exile from Sunny(?) Rossendale... Hills with attitude... or should that be altitude?

Hi both from Lincolnshire! I'm new to this gardening lark and have already learned so much from this great site, you've certainly chosen the right place for inspiration and friendly advice! Good luck with your plot & look forward to seeing more pics throughout 2007! x

Hi Honeybee! Yes, it looks like you're nearest so far.  I live in Ashton so I'm just down the road from you.  Do you have one of those plots on Mottram Rd then? :)

Hi Steve and welcome.

Yes Vee, It's in Guide Bridge so that's 3 of us in Tameside. :)
