Well done and congratulations!, I'm sure you'll find a wealth of helpful and valuable info on here - I know I have!... ;D

[betula]

Hope you really enjoy your new allotment ;D

[plot16]

thanks for that guys. i got it because i am retiring later this year and, apart from the obvious reasons, it'll give me somewhere to hide from 'her indoors' ::)

(hope she doesn't come on here!!  :o)

Hi,

Don't forget to post some photos - we all like a bit of a nosey! - I took some when I first got the plot and even after only having it a few months - its great to look back and see the progress I've made. :)

[plot16]

Hi and welcome I got my plot 1 year ago and was the best thing I have ever done (to get away from HIM indoors)

Welcome to the forum, have fun on the plot.

[debster]

hello and welcome, bet you a bag of manure at some point you end up growing flowers  ;D

[Gazfoz]

About six weeks into my first one. Take your time and do things how you would like (not your next plot neighbour) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;)

[caseylee]

don't rush things like I did, I went overboard with my seed and got to excited.  I got my plot in october last year and still not ready to plant lol, who needs the gym when you have a lottie

[DeeBee]

I find it fantastic therapy to talk endlessly about my plot when I can't be on it!
Bore the trosers off your work colleagues, it prepares them for all the strange requests you may make over the coming weeks/months ;)

Hi! Welcome and have fun.
Caseylee I agree about the gym. I have work colleagues who pay up to £50/month to visit a gym !! Whose mad?
