Hi All,Newbie here, reporting for digging duty! :) Was trying to find a newbie introduction post, and finally found it! Lol!I am LottieLil, and I live and have an allotment in Portsmouth. I have had it since 2009 which coincided with me getting redundancy and gave me lots of time to take a poor 5 rod plot and make it liveable! Well, it was for the first few years, but last year was a disaster, (everything got attacked and/or died) but I'll ignore that and move on!I have a facebook page on it, but will share that when I have settled in a bit more, if that's ok?Found this site when I was searching for blue pipe structures, and found a lovely pic of one on here! Now I have to save up for the stuff, and actually build it! Yay! I do love a challenge!Anyway, hello to all you fellow allotmenteers! Nice to meet you all!Tea anyone?
Hello, Limited opportunities to garden where I am right now, but this looks like a great place to learn the craft of "allotmenteering" (is that a word?) for the future...I look forward to following along as my tomatoes are ripening up for the last go around, most herbs are getting to the end of days and spinach is coming to the final crop as temperatures rise.All the best, Dr. John
Had to look at your profile exactly where you are gardening at the moment. Very different from here indeed. Guess you will soon return to Blighty and get an allotment. Enjoy the last of the tomatoes. Do you grow any hot weather crops like okra or cowpeas? Welcome to A4A I have some yard long bean seeds from some beans at the supermarket- I think they are related to cow peas. Maybe I will plant them in the compost when everything else has gone. I might also try some Jerusalem Artichokes since everyone seems to think that they are indestructible. Back in the UK for a spell next week so I will see what is about.Good ideas?
Welcome annD and lottielil . Here's to a brilliant year of problem solving showing off and sympathy! X sunloving.Lovely dahlia bed jonny you big show off!
