'Up the plot' works for us too ;D
Some of ours are named after their previous tenants such as 118 (Mrs McCaig's)

Not surprisingly Flighty's plot!

"The garden"
When I tell the OH that I am at "the garden" in her mind the garden isn't far away and I won't be long. If I say "the allotment" she knows very well I will be back just before dusk..... hehehe
She still hasn't figured this one out. She also hasn't got the "I need to plant / weed / water / harvest the stuff your dad gave me" Dad can do no wrong and she would be mortified if dads plants died (mine, no bother....)
All part of the fun of another growing season. The bindwind is getting it this year though, no prisoners.....
Mine is just called 23A
The Hill... the plot name is Beacon Hill (although it's more of a slight incline really lol).
:-[OK - you can all jump on me for this one - we call ours "Over the Rainbow" and we have even decided to name beds after the characters from the film -we're in a magical world when we are up on our plot and its a fantastic feeling digging and planning to grow your own. Corny I know - but we love our allotment.
Wirret Glen, incorporating Vratch Heights (shed) and nibble palace (greenhouse).
The builders yard ::)
For the reason when i first got it and was collecting stuff ,like 145 fagstones ,shed,greenhouse,cages and whatnot the old grumpy blokes on our site complained and said it looked like a ' the builders yard',so thats what me and people who know me call it that!!

Down the plot works for me dot com.
Weed valley. ;D ;D ;D

I thought I didn`t, but ...
The word "Plotment" is bandied around quite a lot.
plus you`ve all seen me write, "My number one plot", which is my first plot and is actually numbered 21,
"The top plot" is higher up the slope, actually number 28, Also known as "The field" on account of its size,
Then theres my half-plot number 22A known as "The pumpkin patch", because thats where I grow my squash.
So I have to admit, they do have names of a kind,
Col
I think of it as "My Little Piece of Heaven On Earth" or if I haven't weeded for a while, "The Wildlife Haven" (or for a really long while "The Jungle")
However in conversation it is always t' lotteh! as in "I'm going down t' lotteh and I don't know when I'll be back" 8) :) hee hee
The 'lottment. Just lazy I suppose. :)
Me and Mum came up with a name whilst having a coffee on a dreary December morning...Plot 157 is also known as Claggy Bottom!

As I mentioned in another thread; a lot depends upon what mood I am in it could be the allotment then sometimes it is *^%*&**$" thing!!
normally Im orf to "tha pharm"
The whole site is called John Lee Fold. I'm known as 'number 8, down at bottom'
"The land that time forgot" cos when I`m down I lose all sense of time
Mine is called "gone to pot" :o I even have a wee sign saying that,
and my other half referres to it as " the weed ridden patch"
