I think that a lot of people see Gardeners World and Beechgrove and assume that the garden fairies come along and look after the plot whilst they are having a cream tea or a G&T. As we all know, having an allotment means commitment and hard work. It also means using the eyes and ears twice as much as the gob! With some people you can dress it all up in fine words but it will always end up that they will fail. The thing to concentrate on is getting more new people in to "give it a go" and hope that gradually more will be successful and enjoy the outdoor life both in the sunshine and the rain. I like frosty mornings but I draw the line at snow. I have noticed that slugs, snails and pigeons seem to hate snow as well.So smile, offer advice if asked and enjoy your produce. Bill
I have given up giving advice unless is it asked for.
Ancellsfarmer I promise not to say anything if you don't! Big suck in of breath. That is too much like a workable plan and you know how much "authority" hates workable plans. "They" will say you have been reading too many "win win" books. It is not suitable for the socialists as the "tutors" make too much money and the capitalists will be upset because it is taking profit away from the struggling vegetable growers. Now wash your mouth out and put that pen down and hang your head in shame!BillP.S. nice thinking but it will go nowhere!!
