Hello!
I've had my plot in Caerphilly county for a year in March.
My son is nearly two & has just started to 'help' me with it - even if that means he throws dirt from one bed to another!

Hello and welcome to the forum Welsh Landgirl  :)

I've got a garden 'plottie' (no allotments nearby) and I've been growing veggies for a few years now.

Sounds like you have your hands full with all that help  ;D , how was your first year on the plot?

[Greenfingers Jo]

I've also got a garden plot rather than a lottie.

I'm really lucky that I have the space and my DH is very understanding of my obsession.

I'm in Swansea

Sounds ideal, LOL, glad there is understanding

Well we are moving to the Neath area this year as hubby's health is bad and we need to slow down, we love the Neath area and have a friend there but will miss our allotment sooooooooo much :( im guessing there are long waiting lists in the area ?
I would like to learn some Welsh and im looking forward to it.
Just hope we can make some friends there, nether of us have family left and we both like to join in the community.

[Jayb]

I'm about 40 mins away from Neath, but used to have some family living there. I don't know the are that well but there are gorgeous countryside and walks around Neath and I think they still hold an Autumn Fair

I've no idea as to waiting lists, but these may help

Our brand-new Allotment Gardens are at Bodelwyddan, North Wales. LL18. (Near Rhyl.)

We have twenty-two full plots, with some being sub-divided into half and quarter-plots, and enough room for separate areas for keeping livestock, relaxation and bee-keeping.

Lovin' it!

[Jayb]

They sound fantastic, are they all taken now? I'm not looking, just interested   :)
I love the idea of separate areas for livestock etc, how do these work? Is it like communal areas or do you get your own little bit?

[daitheplant]

Don`t have an allotment any more but I do look after a 650 sq yd veg plot and a 45 tree orchard in Lisvane, Cardiff for a client. Does that count? ;D ;D

[caroline7758]

That definitely counts! Welcome to the site.

[daitheplant]

[Jayb]
