Hi PG
I'm just down the road from you at Southam.
Hello springs
Seems odd to be corresponding on an international site with a fellow allotmenter who's just up the road! I take it your on the main Southam site on the Welsh Road - can you give me clue to where your allotment is there? You're on my cycling route to the library so I like to nose over the fence as I go past.
-
Hi PG
Has you come up out of Southam we are at the first gate.
First plot by the car park. We have just won the allotment cup for best plot. If the gate is unlocked come in and have a look around, We are there most Thursdays plot no 20. Hope to see you one day, by the way we have a member from Napton.
Mal and Phil

Greetings from Northampton (twinned today with Atlantis).
When the rain cleared this luchtime I went down to the site - and found stetches of plots covered with standing water. Fortunately none of my cultivated beds affected - just one gooseberry bush sitting in a puddle.

Ahoy There!
I'm in Coventry, W/Mids. I share a plot with my brother. We've had it for a couple of years now and we love it. We are quite near the city centre, but you'd never know it once your inside the gates. I really get a kick out of growing things, but we love just to spend time down there hanging out and pottering.

hi, im in studley warwickshire
-
In Worcestershire and needing a loo
-
Apparently we've got loos but they're owned by the builders who are erecting a housing estate which has thrown up land for community use. Fortunately, allotments count as 'community use'.
I'm in Bromsgrove, Worcestershire, and I've just taken over a plot on a brand new allotment. If there are any potters here who are short of clay, just pop round - I'll happily trade for a bag of compost :) .

Are you somewhere by the Wernley Pub on the Wolvo Road
-
I dont know where I am!! ::)
Sometimes I'm in the Midlands! Sometimes the south west, sometimes we even come under Wales!!!
I'm in Gloucester!!
Our location is similarly confused. Are we South of England, East Anglia or East Midlands? We are in Northamptonshire, semi-rural outskirts of Rushden, very close to the Bedfordshire border, on top of a ridge. I believe my son calculated (how?? can't remember now) that we are half a kilometre south of East Midlands, in which case this post is OT ::)
-
I have finally got a lottie in Derby. ;D
However, I used to have 2 in Worcestershire, until I moved
-
West Midlands - Donnington, Telford.......................................Solid Clay Soil :-[
-
I'm afraid I'm limited to a relatively small raised twin-plot in my back garden here in Sligo (in Ireland's northwest). We all have to begin somewhere, don't we? ;)

My plot is pretty much right in the centre of the field. It slopes from the right to the left and down towards the canal slightly so it is a good view from more or less every plot.
