Very small garden so I picked up an allotment in August as well (I think it's about four times the size of our garden!).

I have a normal sized garden at home and a much bigger allotment about half a mile away. I spend much more time on the allotment though ;)

I have a little garden. Probably about 30ft x 30ft if that. About 1/6 of it will be a veg patch (once we've dug it!) Allotment is being considered after this summer, depending on how it all goes!

I feel really lucky because my allotment is through the hedge at the bottom of my garden!

I have a large garden with bits of other people's joined on it so I only ticked garden but it would definitely count as allotment and garden really.  Until now it has mainly been lawn but now the boys kick the football too hard they have to go to the park this year and I can start digging up the grass for my 'allotment'!

Definitely in the majority with an allotment and garden - except we have 2 allotments - and I know there are others in this mad situation too...

We have a small garden about 30' x 30' and my father-in-law owns an allotment about 1/2 mile away that is 30' x 150' approx. This will be my 1st season on the allotment.

No front garden at all. Long thin back garden - 21 feet wide and 200 feet long. Veg patch in the bottom 40 feet or so. Lotties sound great fun but it takes me all my spare time to keep the garden going - I'd never manage a lottie as well.
