Thanks to Freecycle where i advertisied my chicken manure ;D A nice man came along to collect it and we were chatting about the chickens in my back garden when i mentioned i was looking for an allotment, the guy said his was only a 5 min drive from me and there were vacant plots!
Off i raced to get one only to find that someone had reserved the last plot :'( I put my name down anways and today (3 weeks later) i got a call to say the guy who reserved the last plot never took it on so it was mineif i still wanted it...........did i ever!
5 minutes later i was completing the paperwork and proudly surveying my new/first ever allotment. It comes complete with lovely grass (lots of it) and a few patches of nettles but i stood there picturing it cleared and full of veg's ;D
I would love to start tomorrow but i am so busy it will have to wait until Tuesday, i don't know if i can survive that long, i have already started designing how it will look and what i want to grow.....I'm so excited!

(Don't leave it too long or they may think you are not taking it on and re-allocate.... 8) 8)
Exciting isn't it !! you'll have sleepless nights planning it out in your head ;D ;D
Welcome to A4A, you will have to change your forum name soon eh?! ;D
You could change your forum name to Gottaplot. Get some pics of it for us. We all like to see how folks are progressing with their new plots.I wouldn't worry about not going today cos it's gonna pee down almost everywhere today. Welcome to the forum
