In December 2004 one of our plots, just near the entrance gate, was badly overgrown and nobody wanted it.

A group of plotholders got together and cleared all the rubbish off it.

In those days, we didn't have a waiting-list and the plot remained vacant.
As usual, I had gone overboard with my pumpkin and squash sowing and suddenly realised that this plot would be perfect for them. I didn't have the energy to dig the plot so I mulched it as thickly as I could with grass cuttings and planted pumpkins all over it.

We put a notice up at the front of it so people would know what was going on.

The pumpkins quickly covered the whole plot and it looked lovely.
