Allotments 4 All

Hello,my name is Becky,I'm 33 ,married with 2 kids,and don,t have an allotment yet but am working on it!Just wanted to say Hi  and i'm lookin forward to getting to know you all.Becky, :D

Hi Becky - welcome - I too didn't have a plot when I first came on A4A but soaked up all the advice in the hope of getting one.  Managed to get it quicker than I thought in the end so good luck!  Lots of friendly people on here - the search is good but don't be afraid to ask questions.   ;D

Hi Becky,

Hello and welcome

Hello Becky.  New poster myself.  :)  Learning loads here.

I have part-shares in an allotment, just got it the other week, and yet to plant anything, though we have dug over 4 good-sized beds.

I also have a new-ish (to me) garden to do interesting things with - eventually.

Am doing indoor-gardening at the moment - germinating and chitting in the house.

Hi to you as well DenBee

Hi Becky. Welcome and thanks for taking the time to tell us a little bit about yourself. You will enjoy this site . Beware it becomes addictive unless you have a strong will ;D

Hi Becky,  Welcome to A4A!  Getting an allotment is one of the best things I have ever done and I really recommend it.  Hope you manage to get your plot soon.  People here are friendly and always happy to answer any questions.  Over the last three years this is where I have got most of my knowledge.  Good luck!  :)  busy_lizzie

Good morning Beckbeck!  And to ALL you new 'seeds'  ;D

So good to see so many enthusiasts on board  ;)

Beckbeck even without a lottie, you can have great fun with you flower beds and make them look like they never have before!!

Salads, onions, brightlights chard, beans ... the list is endless - and colourfull too

have fun,

Hi Becky, new here myself. Eventually got  my allotment (4 years ago) much against my husbands will. He now thinks its the best thing since sliced bread cos it means he can watch the golf  without me complaining. The lotty is my therapy, and my little girl who has been coming with me since she could walk loves it too.She is a dab hand at shelling peas and wows her teachers with her knowledge of herbs and growing plants.  Last year I dug over a patch just for her - she grew peas , beans, potatoes, garlic and sunflowers!  Permanent rosey cheeks - lovely.

Hi there from me as well. I am still on waiting list for allotment but am lucky enough to have 2 fairly good sized veg patches at mine and parents house. These will hopefully keep me occupied for the 2 years or so I need to wait  :(

That said, the information here is top class and no nonsense from what I have seen.

I have a 5 year old daughter (also Becky) who will now get to her favourite gardening time which is sowing. Major digging no fun but she has 2 mini-patches of her own. She is so proud of eating her tomatoes that were sown by her.

Hi Kea, welcome

Welcome Kea, Denbee et al. Good to have you here. :)

Hiya to Becky and Kea, I am new too and have had my lottie for a few months. It was very overgrown and unloved so really needs lots of TLC. Tjust he council rotovated it before I took over, so I have covered most of it and am slowly digging and picking out ground elder and bindweed roots!! :(

It keeps you fit though!! and the people are nice too.
