Hi all,

Joined a few days ago...

Me and the wife are going to our allotment tomorrow to pick a plot (just a 5 pole) and get our set of keys!

Bonus as well because the local parish said that due to the state of the available plots, ours will be rent free until september! 

Busy Easter weekend coming up methinks!

Hi all, I got my ½ plot last march been waiting over 3 years I  signed up with four sites. The one that come in is just 5mins walk away. It had not been worked on for the past 3 years, a new owner each year but with no input. In a short time I got stick in to get as much dug in a mouth and started to plant.  I got best newcomer that made my day ;D. I then asked  for another ½ plot and got it, only thing is one is plot 24 and the other is 36. I have put up photos, please look of plot 36. Fond this site only a week a go.

Welcome to A4A, Vision! looks like you've done a lot of hard work there!

Hello Vision and all the many new members welcome to A4A

Ah I thought there would be a topic like this somewhere  ;D

Well just joined up as always on the look out for tip from people that have really done things, too much online help is from text books and such.

I will grow just about anything and have done, from carnivorous plants to good old veg. A big part of anything I plat is the it must feed other things other than me so I plat a lot of bee friendly plants.

Hope to help out with some things that I can and get a little help in return  :D

Hello, another Newbie here.

3 years ago, I took on a plot of land, reclaimed  it from the brambles and nettles, built some raised beds (as my soil is the kind you could make pots out of)...and off I went :)
Mine is not strictly a 'lottie', as it's just me on my lonesome, no other plots around.

I'm a novice when it comes to gardening, but I love it. I will try and grow most things, but mainly fruit, veg, and flowers for the bees.

Outside of the gardening, I love books and films, yoga, boating...and curry.

I have 2 rescue dogs, a Rottie and a Staffie-Boxer cross, and I do agility and obedience with them, just for fun  ;D

I'm hoping to be able to swap some seeds on this site, and get some much needed advice, as not being part of an allotment group, I do miss the 'over the fence' chats :)

HippyChick - must be a bit tough on your tod.  I only know what I am supposed to be doing because of the people around me !!

Hi and welcome Bacchus and Hippychick, hope you enjoy the forum  :)

As a solo garden plottie grower I agree having nobody about is a big downside but A4A is fab and makes up for having no lottie advice and lottie-mates  :)

Ah, I remember the first time I grew potatoes....no-body told me you had to keep piling the earth up.....I had potatoes, ooh, at least 2 cm under the ground  :P
And carrots don't do well in clay soil...I know that...now!

[shirlton]
