I have had a lottie for six months now, and enjoying it every Minuit i get.
I am in Ripon N,Yorkshire (sometimes not mentioned on maps). I am a newby and like this site very much, you can pick up some useful tips.

Anyone near me ?? :) :)

[Svea]

no but i have a friend (from another hobby) in ripon and know all about your fire service ;D

[snapdragon]

Tell me more, I have only lived here a few years.
My daughter phoned them when she was one year old (accidentally) at eight in the morning, they duly phoned back asking me if everything was alright at which point i realised she had the phone in her hand.
Now i keep it out of sight, kids eh :) ;D

[Doris_Pinks]

Lorna, you wouldn't like it too much at the mo, has been chilly n rainy!!!
(you could always come and live in my shed! ;D )

[lorna]

DP Thank you so much for your kind offer :) Is it a BIG shed? Couldn't live without my 4 kids and 8 grandchildren thats why I need to win the lottery so that I can buy a FEW properties ;D
It seems perhaps E. Sussex is having more rain than the Fens.,
Cheers Lorna.

Helen here

Iam on the Aldershot road sit in Guildford, Surrey and our house is literally around the corner the convenience of which is counteracted by the bloody great hill we have to climb to get to it.
We have had the plot for nearly 2 years and have just about broken it. It was neglected for 5 weeks this summer as we took in students and had a 2 week holiday, We won't bother with the students again as I missed the plot too much, (I would rather be producing something edible instead of being a glorified babysitter!) Mind you; it still produced more veg that I hope for.

I originally rented the plot as we previously lived in a flat above the neighbour from hell. Not only did it provide free entertainment and an interest for our son but it got him away fom the situation.
He is now 11, nearly 12 and loves it up there provided the weather isn't too hot. If the other half is on days we can spend 7 hours up there.
Him indoors is an Irishman but doesn't "do digging".
Previously he would only eat cabbage and swede (a paddy for you!) and hated cougettes an leeks. He will now eat both.

I suppose when Michael (son) reaches teenage years he will lose interest. Its a shame that he cannot go on to the site on his own until he is 15 as it would be a great way to occupy the shool hols!!
Happy gardening

[Anne Robertson]

I've not found anyone near me in Elton (of Louise Woodward fame). I don't live there just that it's the closest lottie.
Though I think there is someone in Halton, about 25 mins. away.

Hi  :)

Mine's in Market Harborough, south Leicestershire and is run by a local charity, not the council (very badly too!!  :()

[ChrisH]

Well my first post to say Hi to everyone

My plot, well not mine as its my grandparent's but it has now been passed onto me from my dad. It is located in Greatham, Hartlepool, were there are about 12 plots and the weeds are nearly higher than me  :o

I have been reading other posts and they have been a huge help especially in enlightening me about green manures as I think these will make the allotment managable and the seeds have already been ordered  :)

Hi Chrish  Welcome to this site,  I haven't got an allotment but love my garden. A real friendly site to belong to. Enjoy!! Lorna.

[joniandmoss]

we .re in Abbey Wood in Sarf london Greenwich borough, tho Abbey Wood is not he posh end . We had a share of a plot in another place in the borough and it was pretty snotty full of peeps who didnt talk to anyone and had manicured plots made me feel a bit useless. This place is full of real people and is really fine lost of laffs and chat really friendly loadsa advice and you can have a hosepipe on or do a barby whenever you feel like it in fact most weekends in the summer we did more barbyin  than diggin. The old fellas spend a lot of time laughin in their plots as the day draws on, mind you the blue bags of beer are a big giveaway. And they are dead good farmers too , they really know their honions!

Just to let you know and invite you all to help with the digging over, I'm in Spring road Ipswich. Only 2 mins walk from my house.
