Where exactly is your lottie?

[lynndan16]

I'm in Walsall Wood West Mids - Greenfields -  We have 80+ plots in all.  We've had our plot for about 7 years.

I just noticed your bench too Jen, that looks really sturdy. I made a sturdy bench too, mine is a seat for sitting on, but it is robust enough to be used for many things ...

Nothing like building versatility into things, my shed doubles as a sitting room come diner  ;D

not sure if this will work, so fingers crossed - here are couple of before and during photos of my lottie (4 in total if it works!) ... going to do some more digging tomorrow, weather permitting

Worked fine mc55, great pictures and what a difference all your hard work has made. A big well done and I hope you have many hours/weeks/months/years there. Thanks for showing.

[Derekthefox]

Yes impressive pictures michelle(?). It is always satisfying to see the before and after pictures, and these are helpful when you feel demoralised.

hurrah - glad it worked.  Have been digging up some interesting crops - bindweed ... mmm (little disturbed to discover that sweet potatoes are related  :( ) and bizarrely rusty 2" nails ... loads and loads of them  ???

Am about to start reading Joy Larkcom's Growing Vegetables book ... CAN'T WAIT FOR SPRING !!!!

hi mc55
you have worked really hard on your plot it will be well worth the effort. :D

[lynndan16]

Lorna  thankyou for the welcome and yes it's a brilliant site.  I've enjoyed looking through the posts and am feeling a bit more enthusiastic now about the coming season.  I must admit I had thought of giving up my plot as it seemed to be more of a chore than a pleasure but I should be retiring at the end of next year and so I'll give it another go and see how I feel then.

Regards  Lynn

Hello! I'm new here so please bear with me whilst I try and find my way around  :-\

My lottie (s) are in Nottingham. I was secretary of our Society for 2 yrs but got fed up of people moaning at me, so I've given up the role. Shortly before the rent is due ... VERY GOOD TIMING ON MY PART!

Hope to get to know you all soon  ;D

Mine is a half-plot in Hastings (on the South Coast) run as raised beds. I mix flowers  with food crops, because we all need a bit of colour in our lives.

hi mine is in sunny somerset, which I have not long taken the plot on. it is a half plot, but I  hope to get another half in April.
I not done a lot due to work commitments and the plot has been to too wet to do anything.
It is not the first lottie I have had.
they were both in Lancashire: the first was near a housing estate, which had water and a security gate and a shed but the soil was not that good the other was on grade A agricultural land.

My double plot is in Harmondsworth, near Heathrow.
500sq mtrs, full of cooch, but will be working very hard to get the ground ready for the spring growing season. Had plots for two weeks now.
It is a bit claggy, with clay about a spades depth, but will be adding horse manure etc, to remedy the problem. Luckily i have a horse field out the back, and the owner says i can help myself to the manure, as much as i want, helps to keep the field clean.
Anyone near me? :D :D ;D
