Waves!! I'm new

Hi everyone,
I came across this site the other day, through reading Gavins site. It's great to find a forum on allotments and all the joys we get from them.
I've been doing my allotment for the past 4 years, but the plot I work has been in my family for 88 years. So you could say I've been involved with allotments all my life.
The Bramley tree in my aviator was planted by my Grandfather. So my plot has a lot of sentiment for me.
It's 11m wide and 40 m long. A bit big for me, but as you can imagine, I don't like the thought of splitting it up.
I've made it into beds which makes it easier to look after.
I'm looking forward to learning from you all and if I might have any tip bits that have worked for me I'd love to share.

Love Bramleys - this one was over 100 years old when it succumbed to honey fungus. You could see the whole village from the top of it.

Glad you joined.
Your allotment must have the longest family tradition of any lotties here.
If the lot is too big for you, couldn't you 'sub let' part of it? Let somebody use part of it to grow their veggies while the lot still belongs to you? Just a thought.
Hope to see more of you on these boards.

Bramleys - my favourite apples - how lucky you are to have such a lovely tree B and a plot which means so much to you. Although there's no tree on my plot I am lucky enough to share an old bramley tree that overhangs our garden from next door's. Our neighbours take what they can reach and we take what we can and everyone's happy!!

Hi Ina,
Funny you should say that, I did that last year and a couple had a little bit to grow potatos, but they've had to move to the other end of the country now, but for there thanks they left it covered so thats takes care of the weeds for me.
Plottie, I'm always saying to ppl help themselves as you can imagine there is to much for me.

Welcome
It's so lovely that the same plot has been in your family for so long. It'd be fantastic when that gets to a century!
