Hello from another newbie
« on: May 01, 2005, 14:42:59 »
Hi all,

What a great site - I've already learnt loads from the posts that I've read and everyone seems so friendly, which is very encouraging, as I was a bit worried about being out of my depth.

I haven't got an allotment yet, in fact, I've been on a waiting list for one in Chorley for about 2 years, and a recent phone call to the council told me that the list isn't moving much at all  :( so if anyone can suggest other options in or near the Chorley area, I'd be very grateful!

In the meantime, I'm reading everything I can find and am experimenting with growing various things in containers in my back garden.  Hopefully, I'm learning from that and will be raring to go if/when I ever get my own plot!

Lesley

Hello Lesley and welcome.   8)

There are always empty plots here in Liverpool. What a shame you have had to wait so long.  :(

Lesley ;) welcome into the fold ;D we are a nice bunch here, but sometimes we are even nicer ;D

Sorry to hear you are having to wait so long for your Lottie, I just did a Google and could only find an e-mail address, it must be worth a try and if you don't succeed try and try again until they get fed up and just give you one :o ;D

Hi Lesley
Welcome

I dont nw what part of Chorley you are but if you have transport have you had a look at Euxton, or Walton-le-Dale, I dont nw if there are any allotments there, but would of thought there would be, being a bit more countryside

Good Luck
