Title: Chesham area allotments
Post by: lewolf on April 24, 2005, 17:30:30

Hi,

I'm looking for a new allotment and I'm new to the Chesham area (Bucks). Could anyone tell me where the allotment sites around here are and any good contacts.

Thanks

Nell  :)

Hi there lewolf,
There are definitely plots available at Cameron Road (up the Newtown end of town)
The council allocate them - you have to choose a vacant one.
And we are very keen to get the plots fully occupied, so you would be very welcome.

There are also some non-council plots in the south of town - owned by the Duke of Bedfordshire - I can get you a contact number for there if you like - pm me. Although I hate to say this, the Duke's soil is much better than the council's, so if you are arond the Waterside area you may want to consider that (I know I would)

See you,
Sarah-b

I'm pleased with it so far - nothing has gone wrong yet. Although the carrots are taking so long to germinate - think that might be the first failure of the year. Broad beans look reasonable. Garlic looks great. So far so good.

Hope your stuff doesn't rot - it shouldn't do - those veggies are quite resilient.

See you,
Sarah.
