Thank you! I stumbled across it while looking for seed swaps. The Manchester seed swap group on yahoo is a little...bare.
I've got enough going on with my tiny wee garden at the moment, least we've no snow and I can get out there. But I've several bits that need digging over and I can't muster up the energy for that let alone a whole allotment. I'm surprised there are some at Poulton, I've never ever seen them.
There must be a way to shame them if there are enough people really truly wanting one, have you thought about using the green books (over wyre focus I don't know if you've seen them?) to gain some support for it?
Failing that, come and dig our next door neighbour's garden, I'm sure he wouldn't notice if it didn't look like a rats nest and I'm sick of his brambles creeping through the fence!
