are there any plotters from the blackburn area
Not me weedgrower but Lanky Lass is ........I'm in Preston, so not too far from you
Plottie
ah, so there are plotters in lancashire that are online, where abouts in preston?
I'm in Penwortham on the Penwortham Holme West site and enjoying every minute (well almost ::)) of my first year as an allotmenteer
This glorious weather is certainly helping with the 'feel good - let's get out to the plot' attitude - was down there for 2 hours weeding, watering and (best of all) picking crops.....potatoes, sugar snap peas, broad beans and courgettes
How are things going with you over in Blackburn?
Plottie :)
Ooooooh Lancashire people!! :)
I am in sunny Oldham......well it is today...and just started on my lovely plot. Cannot get over hoe friendly this site is and how much info there is!! Would be good if people said which area they are in re planting times etc, cos we are a bit behind up here in the usually frozen North!!
Glad to see you at Blackburn and Preston! ;D

I'm just ov'at thill in Sowerby Bridge, Can you tell me the best way to Oldham!
Didn't Oldham used to be in Yorkshire?
Lol...best way to Oldham!!! Never heard that before!!
But to be honest I have only been here since 1988 so what would I know?!!
Missed one.......Yorkshire??????????????????
Well, Saddleworth people (posh, they are) think that they are in West Yorkshire, but still pay council tax to Oldham......I rest my case!!!
Hi - I'm in Rochdale, not really nr blackburn but very near Oldham and about 20 miles from S Bridge
Hi Weedgrower, I'm from Blackburn too. Just off Burnley road near Whitebirk. I 've only had my lottie since May and am a complete novice. But enjoy it so much. Should've done this years ago......

Great fun ;D

Hi Weedgrower,I'm from Blackburn. Not far off from lanky lass. I have my plot about 19months ago. We've put a lot of work on it. Now we even keep hens as well! But my plot getting very dry,good to have some rain to water my vegetables! ;)

I did a week's conservation work in the Forest of Bowland (fantastic area) in sight of Pendle Hill a few years ago - does that qualify me for Blackburn residency?!
I got you beat Mike........walked up Pendle Hill on halloween a few years ago.....fell down a cattle grid in the dark..ho hum!
Does this qualify me for something too..even tho I was brought up in Kent????? ;) ;) ;)
Hi Yuetlee, Where abouts are you in Blackburn as youve said you're not far from me. Nearest ones I can think of are Little Harwood allotments and Queens Park?..............
Hi Lanky lass,
I'm in Great harwwod not Little harwood. ;)

Hi there everyone I am in Rawtenstall. I run Bacup and District Horticultural Society we are holding our show on Sunday 11th of september and any of you are welcome to come and take part. Schedules are availiable and I will send one out if you email me.
hi lankie
well its good to talk to someone else from blackburn. good luck with the plot. its good isnt it. i could spend all day everyday down there but work and family get in the way. anyway, happy plotting
weedgrower
hi slugcatcher
well you got it right about us being the best (lol,lol,lol). good to hear from you
weedgrower
hi steves.no1
well i'm not surprised you moved from darwen. personally i think blackburn with darwen is a dump. i hate living here. its only the plot that keeps me sane. dont rub it in about plots being cheaper down there. i know £58 works out at roughly £1 a week which is not bad for the amount of land i have got but when i hear what other people are paying it seems mine is a bit much. anyway, happy plotting you southerner
weedgrower
hi cyrilsquirrel
welcome to the wonderful world of plotting. just be careful because i have found that it can take over your life and you go to bed thinking of nothing else. happy plotting
weedgrower
Cant help myself......people are mentioning Darwen.
Once saw a vox pop piece on the "after the news" programme.....old lady was asked what she thought of the new decimal coins, she said " Its all very well, but I live in Darwen, it won't affect me"
Erm.......well, I laughed!!!!!!! :) :) :)
I watched that vox pop. The men were right sexist ;D
Wardy I am sure you are right!! Just struck me as funny and would have been even if a man had said it......and in Darwen it could just have easily been a man!!!!!
