In spite of the vandalism our site has been awarded the certificate for the most improved allotment site in Birmingham by the BDAS. We have gone from 10 plotholders to 80 in 2 years.
When I get old I don't want people thinking
                      "What a sweet little old lady"........
                             I want em saying
                    "Oh Crap! Whats she up to now ?"

That's wonderful!  You deserve it, if for no other reason than not letting the vandals win.  Well done to everyone!  So what's next????!!!

Just popping out now, down to the Most Improved Allotments in Birmingham, now that the inspectors have gone I can uncover all of my old carpet and the pile of junk at the end of my plot.. ;D

Any way, it's nice to win something, givies you a bit of prode in the site (even if the achievement is mostly down to others) and the incentive to try and keep things tidy.

Thankyou so much for all of the encouragement. I have posted a couple of pics of how the site of the project looked before we started.(some of you will remember the pic from 18 months ago when Tone was looking at the derelict shed in the brambles for our Bunjy)
