Soon to have an allotment

[Kendy]

Going to look at my 1st allotment tomorrow.  Only been on the waiting list a week and they have a half plot for me !

I say 1st allotment, used to help my Father many years ago so hopefully I can recall some of the experience.

Fingers crossed for a good pitch - not even seen the site yet.

Hope it is everything you want..... even if it is hiding it's light under a bushel at the moment. Let us know what it is like.... photo's are always popular.
;D

Went to have a look today.  If I had a choice it wouldn't have been the plot I would have picked - next to the tall wire fence bordering the British Legion car park so a bit of blown rubbish and a few bottles.  Ground wise, it is a little waterlogged in places but I guess thats the lower lying areas at the edges so you can see it has been cultivated not too long ago. Should be OK once I've spent some hours digging it over.   

Only been on the waiting list a week so pretty chuffed to get one so quick.  Ran the lady from the Council and she is sorting the paperwork, arranging a key etc.

Will try and post a pic when I work out how to load direct from hard disk to here.

On our site, occasionally newbies get a rundown plot as that is what becomes available. Providing they appear to be putting the effort in they can usually request a transfer to a better plot as and when better one becomes available.

Just a thought for you to bare in mind..... ;)

hi there,

enjoy your new plot, you'll love it once you see the first fruits of your labours out of the soil, remember to take plenty of piccys.

Want to load a picture of my plot but can't see how to do it ?

Any advice please?

Got the contract and the key for the gate through the door today.  Ready to go now - if only I didn't have to go to work !

Still want to post a pic of my allotment in it's current state but can't see how to do it - could anyone explain please ?
