Deb P - I know, it's so frustrating these 2 next to us are completely overgrown, our lottie neighbours told us that the bloke who had them hasn't been down there for 3 years!! The trouble is that there isn't a waiting list on our site so people can get away with it. The lady at the council is lovely, but some people always have an excuse ready. The 2 plots on the other side of us are just as bad, the same woman has them both, we never see her either.

Now, dig, dig, dig, dig, dig!!!

Fantastic! I got a second 5 poles plot next to mine earlier this year too - it had 6ft weeds on it last year. I nearly had a heart attack when the council man said that the plot holder had decided to come back (after intimating it could be mine...). Happily he negotiated for him to give up 5 poles and keep 10. I feel a bit (not too much) guilty as he left lots of compost and a largely destoned allotment under the weeds.

Enjoy - I am still really excited about having the extra. Have gone mad with potatoes though (well I have the space now....)

We have been told that as long as there is a waiting list then no household in our area will get a second plot...... My in-laws are now on the waiting list ;)
